as with what the others have said, it depends on your needs.
with laptops, you are spending more on portability rather than power or features. spending the same amount for a desktop would yield an very fast pc full of nicknacks with some dough left over.

October 10th, 2005 10:09 AM #22I prefer laptops over desktops since I'm not a gamer & I don't run any CPU intensive tasks. Anong purpose ng PC sa iyo?
Kalimitan surfing lang saka typing purpose ng PC sakin. May occasional Photoshop at encoding. Ang gusto ko sa laptop, hindi gaanong malakas sa electricity at pwede paring pakinabangan ang portability niya sa bahay. Like now, nandito ako sa couch nagsusurf habang nanunuod ng CSI Miami. Hindi ako glued sa isang space. Isang charge abot ng ~3 hours+, at kapag naubusan madaling ilipat ang adaptor. Actually, kabebenta ko lang ng parts ng desktop ko kasi nawalan na ito ng purpose.
Goodluck on your purchase.

pero if you still want the power of the desktop combined with the mobility of a laptop you can always opt for shuttle. upgraedable din sya like a standard desktop pero maliit lang sya (mas maliit pa sa gym bag!!!)

Laptop if youre on the go, if not, then a desktop would be fine.
question lang - if I have a 1GB RAM notebook with a shared video (integrated graphics up to 128MB), does it mean it will eat up 128MB from my 1GB memory? will it still be noticeably slower compared to those notebooks with 'separate' video memory?

Had the same dilemma since two years ago, when we were looking to replace my wife's ancient desktop PC na Windows 95 pa ang OS. Naka-ilang punta na kami sa mga installment madness fairs, tumitingin ng mga laptops and desktops. Then, nitong huling 0% madness sa Glorietta, nakatyempo din kami, an Asus A3400L laptop. PhP45,+++ for 256MB RAM, pina-upgrade na namin to 512MB for PhP47,+++. We decided on the laptop dahil sa business namin, the computer has to be mobile para makapag-present kami sa mga clients.
So far we're very satisfied with our purchase. Kabibili pa lang, dinala na namin sa Seattle's Best, the built-in Wi-Fi worked instantly. Four USB ports, Firewire, IR, built-in card reader, internal modem, CD-RW/DVD combo drive, sulit na sulit for us. Only gripe is wala siyang TV out, tsaka 40GB lang yung storage, that's why we're saving up for an external hard drive next, and an external DVD writer. At least meron na kaming flash drive for easy file transfers. Nagpa-install din kami ng Avid Xpress editing software, so we can do simple linear editing projects. At kahit prepaid dial-up lang, at least nakakapag-surf/chat na sa bahay!
Personally I would have wanted a Powerbook G4, kaso sobrang lampas na siya sa budget namin eh. But I dare say that we came at a very good compromise with what we got.
the triumph of man over... man!, using the crudest of implements (by modern standards).
