So it seems to me that the good old desktop computer is on the brink of extinction. Does anyone actually still have one? I have a laptop and got rid of my desktop a few years ago.
Does anyone have a desktop?

I still have a desktop and I plan on keeping it.

I have a laptop and a desktop.
08/13/2012
Laptop and desktop
08/13/2012
Both, but primarily laptop with desktop as backup.

I do and desktop computers are way better than laptops, and always will be for everything, because laptops can't have the capacities desktop machines can!
08/13/2012
I do not.

We have both. My husband prefers to use the desktop, especially when he's working on his photography stuff.

I just bought a desktop because my laptop monitor crashed & burned after only 3 years - not worth the money

Nope just Laptop.

In my house we have a desktop but I don't use it, it is on its last leg if you ask me. I have my laptop and my Netbook, but I guess you can consider my Netbook a desktop since my ex husband let my dog jump on it an shatter my screen. I had the stupid thing for like 2-3 weeks before he let my dog jump on it so my dad bought a computer monitor to hook it to.

I love desktops

I don't have a desktop any more, but I don't see desktops going "extinct" any time soon. Sure, a laptop can perform admirably at low- and medium-intensity usage, but for high-FPS gaming (and anything else that requires a monster of a machine), desktops are substantially superior. Even with technology advancing by leaps and bounds, it's still surprisingly difficult to get past the physical limitations of a smaller machine (e.g. a proclivity toward overheating). And until the price discrepancy between equivalent-power desktops and laptops evens out, that's just one more reason plenty of people are still buying new desktops.

I haven't owned a desktop since 1992. Laptops are just easier, and the days of them being less stable died with Win95.

I have two for my work. I have to run specialized and many peripherials--they do not make them for laptops.
08/14/2012
i just remembered that i do! haven't used it in such a long time.
08/14/2012
Yes I still have both a desktop and laptop. No reason to get rid of a perfectly functional computer.
08/14/2012
I have a desktop that I let my kids use to play games on.
08/14/2012
Yes, I have it for gaming, but it is pretty much dead now...I just need to get a bunch of stuff out of the hard-drive and transfer it into my new desktop...whenever I can afford to get it, that is...

Haven't regularly used a desktop in about 15 years. I rarely carry my laptop around with me, but I do appreciate that I have the choice.
08/14/2012
I have a laptop for the time being I want the portability.

Got rid of the desktop years ago. My family all have laptops now. Saves a lot of space.

Being the kind of person that it prone to lose things, I have never dared to buy a laptop.
08/14/2012
Laptop
08/14/2012
My husband does. I rarely use it, unless the wireless isn't working. I love my Macbook.
08/14/2012
I do! I like having a bigger screen to watch movies on and I hate the touch pads on laptops.
08/14/2012
We have two desktops (one is currently stored away). I stored mine since I use my laptop and my partner uses both the desktop and his netbook.
