I had my first notebook when I was doing my graduate studies.. bought a sony vaio, costs me $3799 tat time.. I mus b realli crazy to buy tat notebook.... hahaha.. The notebook was very good, lasted me till end of my course. I killed my notebook due to excessive gaming. the motherboard got overheated, n the spare part was obsolete =X Switched to desktop after that, since I do not have to carry my computer around.

Talking about convenience, notebook is definitely better than desktop, but if there's a lot of gaming, desktop will b better, as the graphics + sound hv to b taken into consideration. Jus bought an Acer notebook last Sep, cos my desktop always died on me... Though it has been repaired now, having 2 computers will b better for me as I will die without computer...... =X
