Desktop vs. Laptop vs. Netbook

[M_80]

I am thinking about buying a Netbook PC. I am wondering if anyone uses one to play poker. I currently use a desktop with a 21" screen. I like the big screen and I am not sure how I would like the 10" Netbook screen. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.

i switched to a laptop about 2 yrs ago from a desktop, would not go back now as there so versitle.

think its 15.4 widescreen which is easily ample, not sure tho that i'd want a smaller screen than that

I personally hate laptops, every laptop I've had has died on me and they don't have enough memory for the music I listen to (well the amount of it anyway) I've got a desktop and probably will until the day I die lol

i love my laptop, my first one died after a year, but it was a very cheap one. so i decided to spend £600 on my second, which is a dell, and you get what you pay for, i also pay full cover insurence for just £2 a week.
another tip i was told about laptops, is that when you put them down, stand it on its end, like a greetings card, keeps it nice and cool...

but a 10 inch screen seems a little too small to me...

yes good point, but external hard drives are so cheap now, just bought a 1.5 TB 1 for peanuts

acer aspire 8290...18" screen, HD, bluetooth and all flashy blue lights down the left side...great piece of machinery

my kids both have the 6920 and one had a few probs with the screen, so steer clear of that, but the bigger model is excellent..IMO

My wife has a PC, 2 sons have laptops, 3rd son has netbook, and I borrow whatever I can get my hands on lol

The only drawback that I have found with the netbook's smaller screen is that you can,t display 2 tables at once

Overall due to its greater portability I actually prefer the netbook over any of the other machines I have used

Hope this helps

We have a desktop but hardly gets used. We both have a laptop and find it much more versatile. The screen resolution on modern laptops is excellent and I find Ideal to play poker. If you wanted you could always use a larger external monitor, or most modern TV screens as an output device if you want to retain the feel of your 21" screen.
