Do you own a Notebook/Laptop?

[Blayze]

I have a old Compaq (K62 350/160MB RAM/4GB hard drive), but it just sits collecting dust.

My wife uses a laptop as her primary computer.

My kids use a desktop.

Sorry you didn't specify if you owned your work notebook or if your company issued it to you.

I did think about this but left it out because most companies that issue notebooks don't give (transfer ownership) of the hardware to the employee.

I have a brand new HP laptop issued from work (probably one of the last sets of hardware we will be able to get with XP preinstalled, sniff sniff) that I am typing on this now, Compaq 6910p..great machine

I currently have (although DHL appears to have it now) a Thinkpad Tablet, X41..selling that soon

I want to buy a Macbook Air as my personal machine

Last time I was at home I gave my parents my desktop and sold theirs..impractical for me to keep moving a desktop around as I keep moving for work over the next 1-2 yrs

I own my laptop. I owned it before I started working at this firm. If I did not use it for work, it would probably just collect dust.

I like being able to completely control what I load on my computer.

14.1" custom build HP for travel and on-campus.

My main system is a desktop used for gaming. I do use my Macbook fairly frequently though.

 

[LS21]

i wont ever give up my desktop.

15" laptop stays in the work drawer when i go home
personal laptop used sometimes while watching tv, while having a poo, etc, but really not that often

dual 22" LCDs, full size keyboard, full size speakers, etc > laptop ... and i do NOT game or do anything intensive.. just browse web

i realize i can dock a laptop to these same peripherals... but nah

 

[Vehemence]

Love my 13" laptop! It's my travel PC.

 

[jupiter57]

At this point, I don't even own a Desktop!
I use a laptop at home, & at work.
BTW, I have at this point, a total of 9 laptops!
(Not having much luck selling lately!)

I have an older thinkpad but haven't turned it on in months. I just use my desktop.

 

[Aikouka]

Yes, but it is not my primary PC. I have a main desktop as well as a server that I use the most.

Then I have three laptops. A Dell XPS M1530 that I use for light gaming away from my PC and videos, a HP laptop that I use for VPN stuff and an ASUS EeePC that sits on my dresser.

 

[KeithTalent]

Dell 6000D that I barely use anymore. I got it for when I was getting my accounting designation as we needed to do presentations and have something portable to work on, but now that I'm done it sits collecting dust.

I have my desktop, a server (just an old athlonXP PC), and a laptop.

 

[sonoma1993]

1 desktop, 1 server and 1 laptop.
desktop and serer are customer built. Laptop is a Dell Latitude 120L

 

[DnetMHZ]

I have a Macbook and my fiance has a Dell XPS notebook

 

[blackdogdeek]

1 x macbook pro - my primary machine
1 x p3 450 laptop - my wife's primary machine
1 x axp-m 2500+ desktop - backup machine
1 x axp 1600+ desktop - server duties
1 x p4 1.6 desktop - server duties
2 x laptops - kids' primary machines (need setting up still)

 

[Feldenak]

Only laptops I've had are company issued ones.

If you own a place with more than one room and need to be on top of things at times when you aren't at work you'd understand.

I bought a 12" Dell D400 recently...my wife has a VAIO laptop and I have a nice desktop.

The laptop is more or less for car tuning.

I like mine for remote desktop... oddly enough, I prefer the older HP for it... even though it has a small resolution than my main machine (my Dell is the same resolution).

Work provides me a laptop, so I never owned one. My wife has one though.

I feel the same way for a utility laptop. I tried quite a few, but find myself liking the older models. The high-end now is still awesome, but many are not really a laptop any more. I'd love a 17"+ lappy for travel as a desktop replacement when winding down in the hotel room.

These days, it's just my laptop and that's it. If I need to do stuff I'll use my work's equipment. In my home lab, I had 14 IP addresses a few months ago(many of them VMs). I moved, and never hooked up the other boxes and I've gotten used to it. Now it's just this macbook pro. I wouldn't say that it replaced all those other boxes, but I just decided to do away with them.

The only thing I do differently is to pirate less. I haven't been keeping up with the current popular artists.

why does laptop vs desktop matter in piracy of music?
