I'm not even gonna get into how it seems that most of the ones who do this are the ones who seem to be making a career out of hunting for a mate online. Ick, yuck, shew. The advances in computer technology are dragging this reluctant geek-dinosaur into new realms. I don't know if i can say goodbye to DOS and legacy peripherals, to config. I shouldn't complain, but tough, i am.
Laptops suck for a few reasons.
First, they are 10 times harder to get into to customize or upgrade. The upgrades cost 2 or 3 times as much as PC upgrades also. They require extra drivers and configuration programs to run above those a PC needs, and that means less overall computing power compared to the same system with less of a load. Finally, they get hot really fast. There are some positives too.
