Laptops are comfier. Can you sit on a couch and play on a desktop?!?!?! 0.e XD
Yawn, another boring text signature. I should really make something better.

I never, ever move my laptop, except when I have to get it out of the way. Besides, despite their name, you can't actually put a laptop on your lap. They get very hot.

Re: Laptop or Desktop?
Desktops as they are more powerful than their laptop counterparts.
Desktop + liquid cooled = Max power & Low heat
Laptop + Fan = Ok power & Reduced performance to keep laptop cool.
For the average person a laptop is fine but for those who want to use all their proccessing power need a desktop.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Actually, yes I can. I just put the monitor on a coffee table 2 feet from me. XP
Did that not to long ago.

Laptop for portability, Desktop for power.
A 500 dollar desktop is twice as powerful as a 500 dollar laptop. Saying that one has more features than the other just means the operating systems are different.
archmage is right. But, with a desktop, you have to buy a keyboard, mouse, monitor, and have to sacrifice portability. Laptops, on tthe other hand, are ready to use, out of da box. And, Laptops usually incorporate hardware that not computers have. However, I completely agree w/ archmage on the OS subject. The OS'es are different, so 1 computer may have more features

Re: Laptop or Desktop?
I have a netbook. They are as powerful as a Laptop, so... Laptop, if anything, since I can go anywhere with it (though my netbook is much more compact, and, for nerdy girls, 'cute' XD)
I might return for a little while.
