I currently own a HP Pavilion dv8, but ideally I'd have a pc at home and a laptop for occasional situations. Pc is much better if you desire to have a powerhouse at home. However you can't compare it with the portability of a laptop.

What type of computer are you using? Which one do you prefer -- a laptop or a desktop? and may i know why?

I personally like using a desktop because i feel more comfortable with it but there are some cases that i would prefer a laptop. For example, sometimes i want to work on something away from home and clearly i can't carry my personal computer around.

I'm planning to buy a new computer and i'm trying to decide which type.

A desktop costs less and lasts longer, but the laptop is easier to run in front of the TV at night. The computer I use most is a refurbished Dell I bought on Ebay for just over $100 and installed Linux on it to avoid Internet spyware and virus problems.

I like laptop for the convenient of mobility! I can let it sit on the desk to work or carry it around to where I want to sit. If the weather is nice, I take my laptop outside to sit and work with it on my deck. If I go somewhere, I also take it with me on the road.

A laptop is my choice computer.

Reasons: low power consumption,. light weight, and off, course portability.

Do you mean Linux is immune to spyware and viruses? How so? Kindly elaborate.

Desktop always I find they last longer even though they take up more room. But I also am a gamer and after spending a year gaming on my laptop I hated it. My laptop is more my passive earner now anyways for running videos and stuff while I do other things on my desktop.

i am using a laptop.
I used to have a desktop but hubby gave my LED monitor to my girl whose laptop screen went blank.
So, I had to use a second hand laptop, Asus brand
I like it, very convenient to move around and small size. Yes it is quick and stable

I have a laptop and have grown so accustomed to using it, I don't know any different. Out of habit, I prefer my laptop. Nothing specific, nothing technical.

I have both a desktop and a laptop. I like my laptop more because I can do my work from the couch and do certain things while I watch tv. It is also a little newer than my desktop so it runs faster. I also do not have a proper desk for my desktop so it makes it hard to use. My kids use the desktop more than me so it works out fine in the end.

thanks for all your input. i appreciate it.

.. refurbished Dell I bought on Ebay for just over $100..

i wish i can find a deal like that.

.. i also am a gamer.

i understand. i would go for a desktop if i am too.

I also do not have a proper desk for my desktop so it makes it hard to use.

I have a laptop and I recently bought a little Android tablet. I love having something that's portable. I often take my laptop outside and use it on the deck where I can "tap into" some free wifi. It's nice when you don't have to subscribe to and pay for internet service.

I don't think anything is immune, but it's rare enough that in about the last 5 years I have never had a problem and I use Linux online every day. The best part is since I only use it for my online activities, if anything were to happen I would just reinstall it and be back online in minutes. I have so little data on it, I keep it backed up online with Dropbox.

What I really prefer is my ipad, but if I don't have it or if some sites require tasks that must be done in a computer I prefer a laptop, I use MacBook.

i sometimes use mine but it's hard for me to type faster.

I'm just using a Dell laptop at the moment, though I'm aiming to get a Macbook in a month or so. I'll also probably get a desktop, as it's an easier way to set up 2 or 3 screens. Extra screens are useful for photo editing, and for flight simulation!

I was a multiple screen user for many years, until I discovered the convenience of using my 32" 1080P TV as a monitor and now I like it even better. Not to mention it's handy to throw up Netflix on if I get bored.
