Necro bump - but since we're here: I sold my desktop when I inherited a more modern laptop from a customer of mine. The DC jack was bad but I got 'er all fixed up and upgraded, and I like the convenience of it. I can't see towers going by the wayside for two reasons:

1. Gamers, although the performance gap between laptops and desktops has closed significantly recently
2. Servers/Workstations (some laptops are powerful enough to be a workstation, but there's more potential in a tower)

It'll be awhile before the good ol' box is a thing of the past. I do enjoy my laptop more than my old tower though, and since I'm not very demanding on performance, I can't see having a need for/ever going back to a tower.
Plus you can't stack them and make desks out of them. :rolleyes:

I mainly use a laptop, but I do use a desktop every now and then. I wish we could still use carrier pigeons. :p

Since I started this thread back in 2014 I finally decided to join the 21st century and got my very first smartphone (goodbye old flip-phone!). Not just any smartphone but one from that evil company whose symbol is a reminder of sin from the garden of eden and that will eventually require everyone to have a number in order to buy or sell... (or not) Apple! So now I'm the proud owner of a shiny white iphone 5 with a black carbon fiber case. :)

Yes! The evolution of zero is nearly complete! (now if I can just repaint my car..)

Both, but I never use a desktop anymore. I don't sit still very well, so I move rooms a lot and I can't really do that with the desktop. My laptop is an HP, which I love, but as a long-time Mac user, I do want to get another one at some point. I miss my MacBook Pro lol.
