    George, they seem to have a higher failure rate so check them well. But yes they seem to be more popular now that more people are going to laptops. Esp. a 500 gig.

    Yeah, I give it less than 5 years and everyone will be on laptops because they will stop making desktops.

    They said that 5 years ago 10 years ago and 15 years ago.. So don't count on your 5 year prediction.

    For me personally, there is nothing like a desktop. I can always get a lot more work done because it is a permanent work station. Everything is more spread out, the screen is bigger, the computer cools better, can run faster etc.

    My last laptop, I used as like a desktop: did all of my work on it, left it on for long periods of time, stored a lot on, etc. and it got burnt out in a little after a year just right after the warranty expired. I was bummed. Laptops do have their advantages but, I dont think they can replace a desktop when doing some serious work on the computer. Of course that is just my preference.
