      It depends, its not like I can take my drive or tower with me.  When I go I take the laptop cause it has wireless an I can move it around easier.  At home though I go to my lady friend she is one fine machine.  :D

        I do have a laptop too, but that is for vacations, business trips, and sleepovers ;D  My desktop is more powerful.

              That doesn't quite answer my question....

              I'll assume you are talking about laptops.

              Limited? In what way? The fact that you can't change any hardware? Is that really a big deal?
              Most average computer-users never go into their machine. If they do, it's usually just to add RAM. You can open up a laptop to change the RAM too.

              If you don't need the power, why get a Desktop when a laptop serves your purpose just as well? Desktops take up more room and cannot be moved as easily as a laptop.

              I use a laptop and will get a desktop soon but only for gaming. I love my laptop it serves me well I take it to London when I see my parents, so I can use it on the train and has only let me down once which was corrected under warranty.
              My other laptop on the other hand  >:(
              It's only a cheap dell with a 10gb hdd but it's a pain.

                I use a laptop, because of file security really, if it's plugged in and the power goes, you don't lose anything whereas on a Desktop you do.
