I must be strange. The games I play were all old when I last updated my desktop 4 years ago so my laptop is plenty powerful to run them and I would still rather be on the desktop. Maybe it's the bigger monitor or the full sized keyboard or a combination thereof. I know you can get those things on a laptop but mine doesn't have them.
Then again the desktop was last updated 4 years ago and aside from a new $30ish video card probably isn't getting updated any time soon. I've bought 2 laptops in that time. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Roberts [mailto:ow...@threeravensconsulting.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2010 6:31 PM To: cf-community Subject: RE: End of desktops, WAS: Re: Been to Google today? Since I do some gaming, laptops that are powerful enough are still out of my price range, but I do have a midtower with a strap on handle and an HD LCD (I just put it in the box it came in and that has a handle), so I am still pretty portable and takes not too much longer to set up than it does to set up a laptop somewhere.

Win 7 has been great on my new laptop. MSFT appears to have fixed all the things about Vista that drove me backto XP on my old machine. It's so good I actually contemplated switching my desktop over the Win 7 from Ubuntu, but I decided to make my desktop a server and just use my laptop. I am at the point now where I see no reason to have a desktop computer. My Envy has dedicated graphics, a quad core i7, and maxes out at 16GB RAM. Anyone else thinking about the end of the desktop or already gone through it? On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 8:17 AM, Raymond Camden <rcam...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'm loving Windows 7.
