Default Laptop or Desktop

I know that all of us here owns (or borrows) a computer. We can't post here if don't have one, right?

Anyway, what kind of computer do you have? Why is it that you like that kind of computer?

I have desktop computer because I like tweaking things. I damage it once in a while but I can replace it easily. Laptops are cool but they are not as reliable as desktops.

.
We can if we are online in office or an internet cafe.

I prefer a desktop and that's what I have now. A desktop is cheaper yet more reliable than a laptop. I don't travel a lot so I have no issue using the non-mobile desktop.

I travel a lot now, so I am using a laptop. When I was a stay-at-home mom, I used a desktop. It's harder to use a laptop with its smaller monitor and keyboard.

I have a desk top. I really want a lap top though. I`m hoping to get one soon. I like to be able to take my PC with me everywhere. When I go to a friends house or when we travel, which isn`t very often. But when my hubby is on the PC I could be using my lap top.

I have a desktop and a laptop. I am getting ready to replace my desktop though. I may get a better laptop instead, the only thing I don't like is the keyboard on most of them, I am constantly hitting the mouse pad on the laptop.

I have only laptops because I travel a lot and work on the computer so a desktop isn't really feasible. I don't know if I'm just used to it or what, but the keyboards on my laptops don't bother me. The only thing I cannot use is the mouse pad. I have to plug in an external mouse wherever I go.

An external mouse is really helpful if you have problems with the mouse pad of the laptop. We can also plug-in an external keyboard if we want bigger keys for the keyboard.

We have a desktop, laptop and netbook. I prefer the desktop, just because at least in our house it's faster. I actually then prefer my netbook over the laptop. It does everything I need as far as working and playing online.

Same here. We got a new desktop this spring but I would really like a laptop as well so we could be in the same room and both be on the computer at the same time.

I never got used to the mouse pad either and prefer to use an external mouse. The other challenge in using a laptop is typing numbers.
