Shall I get a laptop or a desktop pc?
    #5393507 - 03/12/06 09:32 PM (18 years, 20 days ago)

Anyway, my current desktop pc is 6 years old!!!

I am currently a biochem/biotech major, freshman. I used to play made games, cs, half life, red faction, etc. Now I don't have time. I just need a pc for school.

I found this pc http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1576817&Tab=2&NoMapp=0

It is fatty, so I guess I could load some games and play when I have freetime.

I also want to get Toshiba Satelite laptop for around 900 dollars if I don't get the desktop.

So what do you peeps think? Should I get a laptop, something easy to carry, have all my work on it? Or get a super nice desktop.

Buy one of each for me and I will fairly compare and give you my recommendation.

I think a laptop would be more handy while going to school.

Probably everything you need to do you could do with the laptop. Sure the desktop probably has more RAM, h.d. space, etc, etc, but do you really need all that? I have a Toshiba Satellite and I love it. I highly recommend it. With laptops you're obviously paying for the compactness, which is nice. Bur if you don't think you'll ever have the need to take your computer with you on the go then maybe the desktop would be best since it is less expensive.

But Satellites are nice and look really sleek. The M65 is a great computer. Nice wide screen and blows my 6 year old desk top out of the water in every way pssible.

Honestly, unless you plan on bringing your laptop to school or around with you, a desktop is a much better bang for your buck. You can get far better hardware/specs with a desktop for much less money. On top of that, if you are someone who doesn't have tons of money, the nice thing about a desktop is that they're upgradeable. you can buy a better video card, more RAM, bigger HD w/o any hassle with a desktop, but a laptop you can really only upgrade your memory. Most of the peripherals are integrated into the MOBO so you can't do much with it. A laptop is certainly nice (I'm using one as we speak) but for games or music or anything, a desktop is far more useful and powerful.

Yes, I do love music. I got over 20 gigs on here and I have an IPOD. DAMMIT. I wish I was just super rich and could buy both.

Hmmm, this is a dilemma for me. I'm gonna have to think about it, again.

Desktop I reckon...when I was at university, it would always piss me right off when people took their laptops into lectures and typed their notes out on them during the lecture, fucking distracting. Having the ability to easily move your computer around might sound convenient, but in reality, do you really need to? Any decent university provides plenty of computers for students to use, with high speed internet and USB ports, CD burners etc. I always just used to email my assignments to myself between school and home...or burn to a CD if it was something really important.

Yea. I am always in the library during my free time, on the computers, doing homework. Hmm, I think it is settled. Desktop it is, it's gonna be a real phatty. I'll load so much porno and music on there, it'll make a priest turn into a porn star.
