Consumer Survey 2009: Computer Choice
I'm bored, thought I'd get something off my mind.
What kind of computer(s) do you regularly use?
Neither's clearly superior, but there are definite pros and cons to both. Tell us what you've got, how you came to the decision, and how happy or dissatisfied you are with it. Would you choose to do something different in the future? What sort of trends do you think computing will take in the near future?
As for myself:
I've got a laptop and desktop.
I bought my desktop first, and was quite happy to it. Main reason is that performance/cost ratio is better. In other words, cheaper.
It didn't necessarily turn out to be the case since I've had to go out for various silencing parts.
Then I bought a laptop this year because of mobility. Basically I got tired of fighting over computers at Uni, so I got a decent second-hand one for $300. I never really expected my laptop to take over my desktop as my primary computer, and I can't see it happening in the near future.
As for me, I can say I'll always get a desktop, and a laptop if mobility is of importance.
However, laptops are a LOT more energy efficient. It might just be a significant enough factor when I start paying the bills.
As for the general trend, I do think more and more people are buying laptops as their primary computer these days as they're getting better budget wise.
(lol, I just realised I voted the wrong one. oh well.)
