I'm usually trapped at my desk doing work or something, so I'll be at my desktop. Desktops are generally faster than laptops, so I prefer to use my desktop unless I'm wandering around somewhere where there are no desktops.

Haha... everyone (except dman) has said that they want a laptop... :P

I've got both and I've gotta say that I use my desktop mostly just for downloading and running my FTP server. For general purposes, I much prefer my laptop - the feel of the keyboard takes some getting used to, but once you do, it's much nicer.

Not to mention that my laptop is much more powerful than my desktop... :P

Since I only have a desktop, it's obvious. Though, I would like to have a laptop someday. Playing one of the Half Life games while on the bus, lol.

I use my laptop for work, study, surfing and e-mail...
My desktop is for games, burning, a little video-editing and ofcourse storage...

Since I work you can guess what I have the most time for ;)

Well, I've tried her on my laptop, but you run the risk of breaking something. :o
While the desktop saves you from that issue, it is rather uncomfortable.

So I prefer to use a bed. :thumbup Comfortable and roomy.

...or did I misinterpret the question?

The same here.

Except it's a Notebook. Has a 15" screen. Laptops are usually considered the very small units.

A. Because the price of Notebooks has come down.

B. To get away from all those wires. (Well I do have Modem & Mouse.)

C. Because it only draws 37 Watts power max. and NOT 400 Watt like desktop

D. Because I finally upgraded to Win XP SP2

E. As a stop gap till VISTA gets here.

@GeneralMandible: ROFLMFAO!!!

I use my laptop for most everything since it's perfectly sufficient for most tasks. I don't do much video/photo editing or gaming *sigh* but when I do, I use my vastly more powerful desktop. Unfortunately, it stays turned off much of the time, though when winter comes, I'll be using it for supplemental heat :P
