    Desktops are upgradeable so get a desktop
    If you want portable, wait until November 2012 and get a windows 8 tablet

    Desktop, spending $700+ on my last laptop was quite possibly the dumbest purchase I ever made. It's 3 years later and I already have reinstalled Windows twice and have decided to get a desktop on Black Friday and be done with the piece of crap I have now.

    Yeah, desktop. Laptops are too much of a pain, despite their portability. :\

    From what I am seeing on the forum these days, it looks like most either use a laptop or phone:). The big desktops are not prevalent as they used to be as the world continues to go more mobile.

    Indeed, laptop, phones and tablets are really taking over general use computing. They are just a lot more convenient than a big desktop and getting to the point where they have more than enough power to do most of the things people want.
