if you have to ask those questions, the u dont NEED it, you want it.. so if you have EXTRA money for it, get it.

I always thought it would be cool to have one, but I could never justify the cost (silly, because here I am on an equally expensive iMac that I don't "need", complete with wireless..)

After sitting in an office chair all day at work it gets uncomfortable for me to si tin an office chair all the time when I'm at home. I enjoy sitting in my recliner and surfing off the laptop.

I don't use my desktop at all anymore...I don't like sitting at a chair and a desk while using the computer. The monitor isn't as clear as my lappy lcd. If you're like me you have to go to the lab to do projects all the time...with your lappy you can bring it to lab and use that instead of the lab comptuers...when you're done you can bring it home and still work. There's been so many times I've needed a comptuer for a day while at school..either to read cliffs notes...finish up a paper before calss...use the internet....

There's many other reasons to get a laptop but I know it makes me mad when I have to go use a desktop now. I do all my hw, write all my papers while sitting on the couch and watching football or the real world now...
