Mike567 Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 In one hand laptops are expensive to repair where computers are easily upgraded and fixed.but laptops can go anywhere but you have to sit at the computer as you cant easily carry it around.I think i prefer to be more mobile than to be fixed at a desk.

deuces wild Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I agree but sometimes jobs or circumstances require one to have a laptop.My son has a great desktop in his room but he will not be able to use it while in the US Marine Corps. His boot camp graduation gift from us will be a laptop. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I would rather have one on the top of my desk than on my lap any time. ( I think I can say the same about computers if it is of any real importance.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I am so used to using a desktop, having historically been confined to an office, I find it almost impossible to control the cursor on a laptop!! :lol: Also, I have no inclination to carry a computer anywhere. I can always access the internet for my present basic needs, wherever, I am. :DSlightly off topic, I know, but I just recalled having to convert to windows from DOS. I could not control the mouse in any way shape or form!! :lol: However, I practiced mouse control by playing Solo on my PC at lunchtime.

Mike567 Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 considering I'm a website designer then I kinda need a laptop but I would choose to browse the internet in the garden on my laptop over sitting at my desk.it has a bonus in the winter by keeping you warm :lol:.as you pointed out somewhat a laptop mouse can just take some practice to use. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Why do you feel that laptops are necessary for web design?My son does web design as part of his service to customers and he doesn't use a laptop - I know because I build all of his machines.

Mike567 Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 when meeting a client they can be very handy if the client has been passed onto you from a friend they may not have been on the website to see a portfolio, with a laptop it allows you to show them the sites you've built.or after designing a page you can meet up with again with the laptop and have them point out what they would like changing, which is much easier than doing all this via email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you start capitalizing the first letter of the first word of your sentences? Doing so requires little effort but makes reading your posts a bit easier on the eyes. Not doing so makes your posts look like one continuous run on sentence. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They scarcely have enough full stops and commas. They are usually somewhat deficient in the spell checking field too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artist Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Well I voted laptop but it's more or less equal in different ways.I feel more comfortable with the desktop but I like to sit outside under the porch and also upstairs in the room I call a studio (if I want to impress :D ) so it's good to have a portable.
