Ever seen a server run day and night on a laptop?
Sure! Though having a special server computer (stack) is ideal for servers, those things still aren't exactly desktops.
Sometimes portability isn't the best solution, though it is definitely handy for working away from home or the office. I prefer desktops because of the bigger screens, bigger keyboards, and the fact that attaching peripherals to a stationary computer is much easier than doing so to a portable computer.
- Bigger screens: not necessarily. Laptop screens are fairly big, unless you're looking at netbooks. Plus connect an external monitor like I do and it just becomes a desktop experience.
- Bigger keyboards? They're practically the same size...
- Aestethic peripherals: you should see my sexy black netbook with black accesories attached. That includes black monitor, disk, keyboard, mouse, mouse pad (it has a USB HUB built in), headset etc.
Fact is, I work from a netbook day and night, and use it like a desktop. If I need it elsewhere, I can quickly unplug it and take it with me. It usually runs for weeks on end. It's low-power, and it's a blast.
