| 886563 | 2010-05-20 05:24:00 | Most of mine are . They are non IT geeks tho . The ones particularly in Asia even get a laptop for games . I was planning on building a PC for my bro, now he says he prefer a laptop . Laptops have come down in price considerably, he does not play games so a cheap one would do fine . He can take it into the lounge and doesn't take much desk space at all . . . . . . Cheers . |

Though one mate has a desktop and 2 laptops. i have a Compaq Evo n410c with docking station. battery is dead tho, i have it sitting by my bed. it is always connected to the net, so i can check online tv guide at nzcity site. i can also browse utube and pcworld in bed. im regularly listening to early rock n roll such as bo diddley and chuck berry aswell |

| 886572 | 2010-05-20 10:17:00 | I wouldnt even know where my mates are. Except ex-work colleagues. Most of have desktop (I cant remember anyone having a laptop). I may get a laptop soon, since I maybe working next week :banana Since I've never really had one (beside PCuservista's one), but it cant even get on the net :p But I've got 3 desktops I built here up and running (soon to be 4). Thats WHEN and IF I can get some $ to get the rest of it (ram/case/PSU). I've got the CPU and the mobo |
