DBAHO Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 We got a wireless network in our house now too, so I've got the main computer in my room upstairs, and there's 2 labtops my Dad's and my sister's in the study downstairs. So it's a desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Wi-Fi is so great. I'm at my favorite coffee house this morning doing a little work, drinking some yummy Sumatra, listening to good live classical guitarist, and in the Web with their free wireles network and my Airport-equipped PowerBook. Better still, at noon I'll run home and pick up the kids to take them to an Expos/Cardinals ST game up the road this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I'm on the family desktop right now.... But before I head to college this fall, I'll be looking to get a computer. Which do you think would be the smarter buy? A laptop or a desktop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which do you think would be the smarter buy? A laptop or a desktop? If you'll only have one computer, I'd say definitely get a laptop. Then buy or make stand to elevate your laptop, buy a full-size keyboard and mouse and a good 15" flatscreen for less that $300 to use at your desk and it'll be better than a desktop maching because you'll have a 2-monitor setup. Especially for a college student, having the mobility to bring your computer to the library, to class, coffee houses, or out on tthe quad on nice days is really desirable. And more and more places are putting in free wireles networks -- with a wireless card in your laptop you'll probably just happen upon several free networks across your campus and environs.

Which do you think would be the smarter buy? A laptop or a desktop? i use my laptop for everything. i set up wi-fi network at home with my mom's desktop so being able to go wireless as long as battery lasts makes it an added bonus. i even use it in class to take notes. its awesome, unless you wanna do a little gaming then it gets frustrating sometimes. mine freezes up on me every once in a while, while i'm playing online.

Good news is I'll be taking May completely off so I can chill for a bit. With it being an election year, be ready for a September trip someplace small and out of the way.

Which do you think would be the smarter buy? A laptop or a desktop? It all depends on what you are looking to use it for. Desktops have dropped tremendously in price so bang fr your buck would definately be in the desktop's favor. Just something that us college guys tend to think about first I believe.

Isn't the weather getting nice in Korea? What are you bringing back? Somehow I doubt that. Aside from the vacation I'm taking in May I'm gonna be here till the 1st week in December. What am I bringing back? Who knows. One of these days when I get time I need to go do some shopping in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Dell at work (just got this one and it is nice!). Soon to be a dell at home (due to ship 3/17). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Dell at work (just got this one and it is nice!). Soon to be a dell at home (due to ship 3/17). Don't be surprised if you get your Dell much quicker than that. Both when we ordered our PC and when we ordered our printer, we got it about the time they said it would ship.
