| Well... I'm currently using laptops.. HP/Compaq NX7000 business notebook
Pentium M @ 1.6Ghz
1.5GB RAM
60GB HDD
17" Screen
all the bells and whistles.. BUT... The hard drive (as I type this) is biting the shitter.. making crappy sounds and is accessing data VERY slowly. This is the 2nd HDD to die in this machine within a year... I'm thinking of buying a new one. BUT, I can't decide to do the laptop thing again... or go with a desktop.. Your opinion?

| first off, to fix your harddrive, stick it in the freezer with a ziplock bag for a week or so, secondly, desktop or laptop is all about preferences... if your a student and you need protability, laptops your obvious choise (or if your to cheap for internet and sit in someone's backyard to feed off their WiFi) but if its for inhome use, I would go desktop all the way, go for a custom built, more bang for your buss, on average 1700$ laptop = 1025$ desktop.. plus, your desktop is always upgradable

| Good points... There is a pretty strong possibility that within the next year I will start travelling for my job... So, I'm leaning towards a laptop (even though they are more expensive and slower). Can you explain that "freezer" thing to me??? The drive is starting to make whiny noises and the disk access is very slow. I've run diagnostics on the drive and they all show NO errors, but the diag takes forever.
