laptops

You have to look at your primary usage to determine what's best. Personally, i have a powerful desktop that my son and I have used for gaming. I have a huge hard drive and an even bigger external hard drive for storage. I love having a gigantic screen in front of me that allows me not to have to scroll up and down the page with the annoying scroll bars just to see everything. I also like being able to use a wireless mouse and not have to fiddle with those goofy touchpads on the laptop. All that being said, you can't put a desktop in a briefcase and take it with you. My wife uses her laptop for work and surfing while I'm on the desktop. We also got a netbook this year that she can shove in her purse and we can get on the internet anywhere, any time.
