Desk Top or Lap Top?
My old Compaq Presario is dying. The hardware isn't supported anymore. The software requires updating but the hardware can't handle it. Today, I received three "blue screens of death": Something about memory parity and hardware failure. Of course, you can't find memory for this old thing anymore, so it's a race against time.
But I can't complain. I know many people who have gone through 3 or 4 different computers since we bought this one. After all, it's close to 5 years old! That's like 100 hundred in human years!
So now the search begins. I'd like to get a laptop, but practicality points towards desk top. After all, I don't really go anywhere that I need to drag along a computer with me. At the same time, It'd be nice to kick the feet up in front of the TV and be around the family while working on sermons, blogging, and such. I'm not a gamer, so that's not a factor.
So let the search begin. Any advise?

But for the most part it's difficult to match the computing power and speed of a desk-top.
Me, I have one of each.
I use the laptop for light-duty stuff, and I use the desktop when I need to bring out the big guns with a graphics project, etc.,
Both are relatively inexpensive; you can probably get one of each nowadays for a similar price that you paid for your Compaq five years ago.
