Laptops....how quaint.
Tablet for on the go and a nice powerful tower for home.
Tower
Lol
Welcome to 1996
nah .. i use a tower at home. Just had a new one built for me. Far more reliable than any laptop. My old tower was 12 years old before it died.
My laptop is a 2 years old ACER and I'm ready to throw it away. Useless.
For home office use, nothing beats a good old tower. Fast, reliable, up-gradable and cheaply repairable = less e-waste.
I have two towers in my home office.
I used to do a lot of design and video editing (and still do some) so a desktop is unbeatable. It never goes online so it's still as clean and fast as the day it was built. When I upgrade the editing PC it gets demoted to general use
Also, I've used the same guy to build my computers for about 15 years and last time one had a fault, a blown power supply, he didn't even charge labour, just swapped it out and it cost less than $100 bucks and ready in an hour.
Everything I do with my tablet hits the cloud as soon as I get home and is there waiting for my on my PC.
