May 12, 200718 yr I was never a big laptop guy, well, up until today at least. I won a Toshiba A135-S4527 as a prize for winning a business competition at ESPN Zone and I must say, being able to use a computer just about everywhere is pretty damn awesome. I'll now be able to take a PC and a laptop with me to college this fall. The differences in keyboards and pointer is what always turned me off about them so hopefully I can get used to it. Nonetheless, a free laptop with Vista and all the bells & whistles is much better than a $800 PC. Edited May 25, 200718 yr by SoxFan1
May 12, 200718 yr That's a pretty decent machine. The laptop keyboard and touchpad get some taking used to, but I don't think I can ever go back to a mouse and hunky keyboard again.

May 12, 200718 yr I have a Dell E1705, which is considered a desktop replacement notebook. I added, a Logitech keyboard and wireless laser mouse and it is basically the same as a desktop except I can tuck it under my arm and head to Moon Beans.
May 12, 200718 yr I like my laptop just fine, but having to use a desktop for 8 hours a day still keeps it as my favorite. I am not so sure I will ever get used to the laptop keyboard due to how much time I spend on my desktop. I do use a mouse still with my laptop though. Again, I use the mouse and keyboard together so often in my job that I don't think I will ever turn over to being a touchpad fan. But there are many factors of the laptop that I do love. I've only had one for a few months though. I do know this though: if I get the chance to switch to a laptop at work, I will.

If I ever had to get a laptop, I'd have to get a mouse.

May 17, 200718 yr I can use the touchpad on my computer, but most of the time I use my trackball. Which everyone in the world hates but me.

May 17, 200718 yr QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 16, 2007 -> 06:53 PM) Would you really want two computers? I am using three at home. A desktop PC that really functions as a print server and network storage, an old laptoop that I am converting to a media center for MP3, internet radio, movies, and feed mlb.tv to my TV. And a laptop that I use as a computer :-)
