Laptop or Not?

[ACPCUP]

Hi. Can't decide wether or not to get rid of my PC and buy a Laptop instead!! I use the PC for some gaming and everyday things. Help!! Should i buy a laptop? I can't have both as there is a baby due in October!!

Give us a clue here, what specification is your PC, what do you want it to do and what is your budget?

Also remember that laptops are more easily pulled off tables etc by babies, not likely to be a problem for a while yet though.

Do you need the computer to be portable and move between each room, outside, round a friends, in your car?

Laptops are great and can easily replace a desktop for browsing, office, lighter gaming and heavier (if you get a top end laptop) CD-R, DVD-R burning etc. Come right down and price £600 can get you a decent laptop. I have a laptop and coming from desktop laptops are a lot more enjoyable to use (sit in bed whilst playing doom, watching a movie etc)

I bought a laptop 2 years back, although i was well happy when i got it im annoyed now cause upgrade options are limited and its useless for what i want it to do as its out of date.

I say have a laptop if you dont game, but if youre a hardcore gamer then its a nono
