labtops are computers. Get a desktop if you're not going to move it. Cheaper, runs cooler, desktop equivalent always performs better than labtops, and you have room to upgrade in the future.



also, looking at getting a new computer.

I (and many people I know, I picked this habit up from a friend) call laptops that move as often as a desktop a "Labtop."

I used to say labtop. I've corrected myself now, I say laptop. How come everyone calls a desktop a pc?

Well, I think that some people associate "pc" with "personal computer" and don't associate the abbreviation/acronym with operating system. It's sort of an old term, perhaps.

Yeah. I don't call it PC though, I don't think I ever have. It feels weird not saying desktop or laptop. Sometimes though, I get those really technical people who say it's not a desktop unless it sits on top of the desk with the monitor on top of it. I think that is stupid.

lol, i haven't had a desktop like that since, never... well the ones we used in 6th grade.

I know! We only use those at like, school. It makes no sense, lol. My CommTech teacher says NO THATS A TOWER if I call it a desktop.

tell him he's wrong. or say, no, it's a micro-atx computer case. :P

I refuse to think of my Mac as a PC. I blame the commercials. I'd rather my computer be Justin Long than fat business man type thing.



But I'm dreading this. I do always get to see the BF ads for Target like a week early so I know what's going to be there but I have to be at the place at 4AM. Not looking forward to that AT ALL.

Black Friday shoppers are insane. I have never been out shopping on Black Friday, but I have heard some interesting stories. Luckily, I don't have a ton of people to shop for, and the people that I do shop for usually want one or two things... totally not worth putting my life in the hands of crazy shoppers who would probably willing beat me up just to get the last of something I unknowingly took off the shelf.

I don't know if I've heard anyone in "real life" say it, but on forums (esp. on CB) people use "labtop" quite a bit. Here's a sample.

Tower = case, or just the computer itself with no peripherals.
desktop = computer of any kind that is stationary and has peripherils like a screen mouse and keyboard.

tell tell your teacher he/she is wrong.

does anyone know if there are special deals ONLINE on black friday?
specifically newegg and amazon? haha.

macmall has some pretty sweet deals on BF. Better deals on macs and ipods than the apple store on BF.
