The desktop would be nice, however, for when I actually need to get down to work and spend a larger chunk of time on the computer. Plus, you get more bang for your buck with a desktop.

Karen sent me a shaped piece of hardboard for my laptop one year and i use the mouse on the side of it, or i use the mouse on the arm of the sofa while i lean on itOriginally Posted by katiemae1277
I hate those touchpads, and yes I could get a wireless mouse, but how can you use a wireless mouse if you're sitting on the couch?
mine has a number padOriginally Posted by LDG
I'm confused about the keyboard thoughts... the only thing different that I can tell between the keyboard size is that there's no numbers pad on the laptop? I never used it on the keyboard to begin with, so I don't miss it.
I was wondering the same.... my keyboard is the same size as the average keyboard.Originally Posted by WellingtonCats
I don't understand why people say laptops have small keyboards? My laptop keyboard is bigger then my desktop keyboard.....
I use my laptop because hubby has his music programs on the desk top so he uses that one. Since I just won a lap top, I guess I'll be stuck with laptops. I do use a wireless mouse with the laptop because I really hate using the touch pad. I find it very cumbersome but am amazed at how fast some folks are able to negotiate it.Originally Posted by WellingtonCats
A lap top. I don't know how anyone can live without one to be honest?
I have a desk top computer but haven't used it for 2 years.
At school I only use a desk top and at Kieran's house 50/50.

I'm an all-finger fast typist, and you're right - when you're fingernails are longer it is a problem because the keys are shorter. Perhaps that's where the difference arose in my "I'm a fingernail polish spaz" thread - because you're right about the keys being shorter on a laptop and that being a problem when your nails are longer.Originally Posted by Yosemite
As for the keyboard, I don't know if it's so much that it is smaller than that the keys are flatter than on a regular keyboard. I find when my nails get a bit longer if I'm growing them out for a special occasion like the Christmas party and such, that I have difficulty typing on the laptop. It may be different if one is a hunt and peck typist versus a touch typist - I don't know.
