    Do you do much of your processing on your laptop/iBook ?

    Rarely any, it is too slow and I only have the trackpad thingy for the mouse, no chance! :) I'll stick to either of the other desktops in the house.

    Laptop = Acer Ferrari Tur 64 1gig ram
    PC = A64 3000 2gig ram raptor

    I used to use the laptop the whole time
    but since I upgraded the pc a little bit I
    dont bother on the laptop anymore,

    Plus

    The laptop screen was really bright and
    when my pics went online or were printed
    they were too dark.

    Overall the PC is faster, easier to backup,
    more comfortable to use etc....

    Hope this helps.

    Well, spec-wise my laptop is a workhorse - 160Gb memory, 2 gigs Ram, 17" screen, 2 x 1.6Ghz processors.

    Desktop's I have a choice of pretty good spec iMac's and G5's and older Pc's.

    I use the laptop simply because the PC is reserved for World of Warcraft, and randomly shooting things. Otherwise I'd rather be using the 19" TFT, not this one... :(

    I use my MBP for everything, as I'm pretty much obliged to be portable.

    I happily use a 15in Mac Powerbook 1.66mhz. When in the office I plug it into an Apple 23in screen with Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse. It's my only computer. I'm keeping an eye on the new LED Backlit screens due out sometime this year.

    None at all. I prefer the extra vertical resolution of my desktop machine. The laptop is handy if I expect to need to empty cards during a day though.
