Laptop. Wireless + Decent speed (1.6m) + good battery life. :)

I only use my desktop for big progamming projects (where I need/want to be able to use a 21") or for games.

There's a special option in the poll for people in your situation.

I use my laptop in my car and maybe a hour or two at work. My desktop is almost always on.

Laptop. Built in wireless is very useful. Desktop is for gaming and programming only.

I use my laptop (iBook), more than anything else. Though I have a Compaq Presario that just sits there, I have it acting as a server running Linux. As for my desktop, I only use it to play games.. and importing images and stuff onto my hard drive (RAID array).
 

I have a Pocket PC (Dell Axim w/D-Link wireless CF card) and I use it all the time when I'm watching TV or driving around (war driving, etc.). However, I use my desktop MUCH more.

Desktop is broken, mysteriously turns itself off after 20-30 mins.

So I've been using the laptop, all I can say is WiFi rocks :)

I use my Laptop FROM my desktop. Where's that option.

(I really need a regular mouse for my laptop...)

about equally...i just can't deny the fact that reading text on my laptop is far superior to my desktop's sony g400 trinitron 19inch flat screen crt :(

desktop for gaming mainly, and laptop for casual use...
