Lets clarify some ideas and thoughts from people. Well... for one, you don't have to charge a laptop, like a desktop, theoretically you can leave your laptop plugged in 24/7 just like a desktop just that you have the option of mobility if needed. Another thing is this hardware thingy... Laptops are not slower than desktops.... just that laptop hardware costs alot more than what desktop hardware can be bought for because of weight and size, unlike the desktop, you have very limited space, do you want a 20lb laptop sitting on your lap..., thats why a laptop equivalent to your home pc is alot more in cost... I also see someone noted that the screens are less in quality than your average CRT, thats true in some cases. Theres XGA, SXGA, and UXGA or something to that affect. Yes, your cheaper laptops do seem to have less quality screens, but trust me, I have a 17" UXGA screen and it will kill any 17" CRT...
how cool is it to watch Advanced Generation or Pokemon on your laptop in your car? ...i even use my pda at times with wifi, lol, this msg was posted by pda..., took roughly 40 mins to type in... now thats super mobility... :P
