Hey, sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but...
A while ago I was thinking of getting a new laptop. At first I was going to focus on battery life, but as time went by I saw myself caring less about that and more about a quality machine. Now, if I were to get laptop, I would most likely make it a desktop replacement.
A friend of mine recommended that instead, I get a really good desktop with all the things I want, and then a laptop to use for more basic word-processing, and that sounded like an ok idea. He said that the price wouldn't be too high(price range: desired: $2000, might go for: $3000, absolute max: $4000, pushing it)
I'm just looking for input on which choice would be better, and for what reasons. The only time I go out of the house with my laptop is at school, where having the power to program or run graphics intensive applications would be nice, but not all that important. A machine that's capable of handling some basic things would work. I guess. Then again, I would need to transfer things between my laptop and my desktop, and that might be a hassle.
So just looking for input...
