cassidy 0 Posted May 21, 2003 I have a friend who's going to buy a computer and I'm encouraging her to buy a PC, but her dad says she should get a laptop. She doesn't really know what to do, having advice from two sides. I personally think PCs are better, though, because they're a lot faster. And you can use them for more/better games.

ddillard 2 Posted May 21, 2003 I like both, depending on what I intend to use it for. If I have one place that I will always be using my computer I prefer a desktop, mainly so that I can have a larger monitor. and I can spread out the mouse, keyboard etc over a larger area. But if I am going to ever have the need to use my computer in more than one room or location I prefer a laptop due to the portability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stelfan 0 Posted May 21, 2003 That depends on what she will be using her computer for.. If she doesn't need to have it with her when she travels than a PC is the obvious choice, it's faster and cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deagletime 1 Posted May 21, 2003 pcs..all the way... laptops are all proprietary and if something breaks your pretty much screwed...with a pc..everypart you can replace from frys...most of all u dont have to type like a giant on a 8 x 10 keyboard... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takara_Soong 4 Posted May 21, 2003 I hate the keyboards on laptops!!! I prefer the pc but if I needed a laptop I'd get one too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessa_Soong 0 Posted May 21, 2003 I have worked on a Lap top and i don't like them, but it is true that it depends on what she would need it for. But personally, PC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 21, 2003 I hate the keyboards on laptops!!! How are laptop keyboards different? (No, I have never seen one :) ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted May 21, 2003 The feel is really different from a pc keyboard and the spacing between the keys is not right. Also the placement of the glide mouse is annoying! Here's an image of a laptop so you can see what I mean. This one's a Dell but they are pretty much the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 21, 2003 I see. I guess if you gotta have a portable pc then it's a must but for home use, I choose pc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
master_q 0 Posted May 21, 2003 It does depend on what you use it for. I think we all know that a PC is more powerful (usually), it can easily be upgraded, and so on. I agree with the keyboard. I don’t like a laptop’s keyboard, but you can connect a regular keyboard (or mouse) to a laptop. But of course that won’t give you the advantage of using it on the run. (When you transport it then you would have to unplug the keyboard . . .) Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xeroc 0 Posted May 21, 2003 I think it really matters what you need it for. If you require the advantage of transportability, then get a laptop. If you do not require that, then get a PC, because it is better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trekkergirl220 0 Posted May 22, 2003 I voted i like both, but I'm leaning more towards pcs. it depends on what you use them for, and what kind of computer they each are, if they're really old, then either one is bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admiral Kirk 1 Posted May 22, 2003 I voted for both. Pcs are handy at home and the newer models have more memory and feautures and Laptops are convenient in small places or if you are on the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KayTroi 0 Posted May 22, 2003 I voted for both. I believe a PC is faster but I am speaking from my experience. :angry: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted May 22, 2003 I voted PC, because that is the type of computer I ahve always had. My dad has a laptop and I had to borrow it once, and that was once way too many, just was really strange layout, and felt like I was trying to create an elaborate modle ship/car/whatever in a child's size 2 shoe box!

Mr.Picard 12 Posted September 14, 2003 I have 2 PCs and a laptop so I can definitely tell about the advantages of the PC (better for playing games) and the laptop (better for working) Well but I must say I like both. They both have their advantages and disadvantages :) Mrs. Captain Picard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
