[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 750023, member: 59833"] I agree. Your complaints about the keyboard and mouse indicate any laptop would be uncomfortable (and I agree with that). Now consider how your eyes will feel with the small monitor that comes attached to the laptop too, along with the fact you generally have to always look down at a laptop monitor. I know after using a laptop for a couple hours, not only do my wrists hurt and my eyes start to tire, my neck starts killing me too. With a desktop, you don't have to scrunch your wrists together to type. You can also position the keyboard at the right height for proper posture. And at the same time, have the monitor sitting in front of you so you can look ahead instead of down all the time - also better for posture. Laptops are for people who need a computer they can pick up and take with them to work, school, or for regular travel. Now you can always attach an external keyboard, a real mouse and a desktop monitor to a laptop, but if you don't need a mobile computer, then you are just wasting money on the laptop keyboard, mouse and monitor you are not using. Not to mention the expensive laptop battery. So in my opinion, a desktop is the only way to go. And what's also nice about a desktop PC is next year or the year after, if you decide you want a different keyboard, or bigger monitor, you go buy them, swap them in and you are good to go. You can also easily upgrade your RAM, for example, with a PC. Not so with many laptops. The only other alternative is something in the middle called an all-in-one like this [URL='https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-desktop-computers/new-inspiron-24-5000-touch/spd/inspiron-24-5477-aio/fdcwmystc604s']Dell AiO[/URL]. These are basically full size (24") monitors with laptop motherboards mounted inside. And they come with a full size keyboard and mouse. However, they have many of the same limitations as laptops in that upgrade options are limited and if the monitor or motherboard fail 2 years down the road, you typically have to replace the whole thing.
