Okay, so my parents are letting me get my own computer, and I can choose a laptop or computer. What do you recommend?

edit\\second choice is supposed to be laptop. i messed up..

laptop. But get a network router. So you can connect to the internet WIRELESSLY. Depends on what your using you system for...

A laptop is a computer. I imagine you mean "laptop or desktop". I guess it depends on what you plan on doing with it. I have a laptop (an iBook) and I love it, but I have a need for carrying one around a lot. A desktop is generally cheaper and more customizable.

Where's the choice for laptop? Doesn't matter, I prefer desktop.

I perfer a desktop. Cuz if i had a laptop then it would always be connected cuz of my internet thing and that would suck.

Networking functions the same on both types of computers. Laptops are only connected to the Internet when you want them to be.

Laptop! I love desktops way more, but laptops are cooler cuz you have the luxury of taking them wherever you want.

It depends on what you need a computer for. If it's for college or work, then get a laptop. But if doesn't need to be taken around, a desktop is a better option.

I'd have to say a laptop, because I like the thought of being able to take it with me everywhere, even though laptops generally have less RPMs than a desktop computer {As Kryogenix so kindly informed me. =)}.

I kinda don't know that much about wireless connections, but like, if a café has one, you should be able to get it too, right??

I like my laptop because I don't need a wireless card to get onto the net at all, I just have to press a button. ^^

i'd definitely get a laptop. mobility. and they're just cooler. haha

I have a laptop! I love it!! Mine has built in wireless connection. But yeah, I love having a laptop becuase I like bringing it places.

Computer. If I could carry my computer around I would.

computer you can hole alot more stuff in it!

computer obviuosly
yes laptops are more portable but desktops have more power
so id go with a desktop
however if u are using it for standard things then just get a laptop
