Laptop or Computer - Which Do You Find Better For Productivity?

mr.schutz · 05-03-2009, 10:07 PM

Desktop if you are working at home.

Laptop if you still want to work while you are out.

tommygadget · 05-03-2009, 10:11 PM

I have several of each but I find myself working on this beat up old laptop. The paint is worn off the palmrests, the keys are shiny from heavy use, the display hinges are loose, case cracked, etc. but it is the most used computer in the house. Why? well, it is always on my lap and I am always writing these days and I like my giant massage chair (although some settings make it impossible to type

).

I use both honestly.

For productivity and serious stuff, nothing beats a desktop. You're upright, at the desk, and zoned in.

But when I'm doing some browsing, light research, or even composing some content with IAW, I use a laptop. Simple browsing and research is not too engaging and can be done on the couch in a laid back manner, with the TV on.

Laptop changes the scenery as you can move it around

Traffic-Bug · 05-03-2009, 10:52 PM

A stationary computer is always better, get a laptop only if you are on the move and would need wifi access.

CoreyCash · 05-03-2009, 11:16 PM

1 - Laptop
2 - Blackberry
3 - Desktop

Jeff Henshaw · 05-04-2009, 12:19 AM

Three desktops and no laptop (I'd be ashamed to tell you about the operating system still running on the oldest!).

Had a laptop when I had a day job, but not much point to owning one now. If I am away from home I borrow one of my brother's portable computers and one of his mobile (cell) contraptions that lets me access the Net!

Seems to work for me.

Regards,
Jeff Henshaw.

Definitely a desktop for productivity; a mouse is far more efficient than a nipple or touchpad.

TKChung · 05-04-2009, 12:29 AM

I prefer laptop. It enables me to work wherever I want.

internote007 · 05-04-2009, 02:43 AM

I prefer a laptop as you can work from any place. I do some IM work during my lunch time at work. With a desktop, I wouldn't be able to do so.

FlightGuy · 05-04-2009, 02:53 AM

I actually use my desktop more than my laptop when it comes to business, but I do use my laptop as well. I recently had a rather hectic move... missing things, etc. and prepping the old house to sell/rent... while everything was still hectic, I used my laptop more than my desktop simply because things were not organized yet.

My suggestion is if you use a desktop and rarely use a laptop, have everything backed up on your laptop just in case you need to whip it out for a few days.

I do, however, use my laptop often when visiting with offline business owner clients.

Kindest,

John Dennis

laptop, you can work from anywhere considering nowadays laptops can handle photoshop

Les Blackwell · 05-04-2009, 03:42 AM

I use my laptop, it never leaves my side. Even if I can't get an internet connection, I can still work and be productive where ever I am.

Cousin_Lucky · 05-04-2009, 03:46 AM

I use a desktop computer for three reasons: the cost for a more powerful machine is cheaper, huge flat-screen monitors are a productivity boost if you use 'em smart, the blasted thing stays plugged in to the wall and can't be hauled around to ruin vacations, etc.

Hope this helps,

Cousin Lucky

I prefer laptop because it's handy. You can bring it wherever you will go unlike the computer.

dsmpublishing · 05-04-2009, 05:42 AM

I am a laptop girl!

i love them i can work wherever i like, i have just moved house and loved the fact that two laptops and a few folders was all i needed to move my business. If i had packed up a couple of cimputers it would have taken a lot of space and lots of time to set up again.

It also depends on your disipline i am very well organised and strict with myself. but others struggle to be able to do it.

I prefer laptop because everything is stored and it's portable for me. No need to keep data transferring to laptop everynow and day just to make sure that I have the latest copy of my IM stuff.

DavirWarner · 05-04-2009, 09:23 AM

If you are based at your desk - surely Desktop. If you are on the more - laptop. I use both though.

Ronnie Nijmeh · 05-04-2009, 01:20 PM

A 24" iMac with a second 23" screen is my way to go... there's nothing like editing a web page, document, or designing something on a HUGE screen.

Way easier to see and change things.

Plus, if you've got kids, a dual screen means you can work while the little ones are watching something on the other screen.

I use both, but I prefer my computer. For some odd reason I seem to do more work when I use the computer lol

Not true. I can't balance my Yogi Bear money box on a laptop.

I've tried.

Skribblez · 05-06-2009, 05:48 AM

Will be going for a desktop.

Thanks guys

Michael Kopec · 05-06-2009, 09:36 AM

I use laptop most of the time. I love portability and having a battery that always prevents my work from being destroyed if electricity goes off.
However when I set up an office I'm definitely going to buy PCs.

igorhelpsyousucceed · 05-06-2009, 09:44 AM

hey Skribblez,

I totally recommend Laptop.
Due to the simple reason that
you can take it anywhere you go and
work from practically anywhere in the world.
