I played World of Warcraft in a truck the other day for about 2 hours straight. Plus the thing was powering my phone that I was using as a modem at the time. and it STILL had 23% battery left on it when I shut it down!
I'm currently using my Alienware Area-51 m9750 to reply to you. I just feel the need to say: YES, desktops are slightly more powerful and slightly cheaper, BUT....they aren't portable. you cannot compare a laptop and desktop. people buy laptops so they can take them to work, to friends houses, to the pub, or to the bowling alley like I did tonight.
I'd LOVE to see you carrying a hefty beast of a desktop, plus monitor and keyboard+mouse etc, into a bowling alley or other public place. it'd be funny to then see the red cheeks on your face and then ask you again, "what is better? Laptop or Desktop?"
YOU FOOL!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
