Weird, because most of the college students I've known used laptops instead of desktops.

90% of university students and every single housemate i have ever had (except one that was a super WoW geek) had laptops.

i've just got back from my girlfriend's place and she lives with 5 other undergraduate girls. every single one has a macbook except one, who has a hp laptop. not a desktop in sight.

and why would non-college students need a desktop at all? all my family members that work fulltime have laptops for ease-of-use and portability around the home. no non-college student i know has a desktop except for those interested in computer games (a fractional minority). to most people a desktop is an office workstation, and they certainly don't want one in their home.

i think your impression of desktops is somewhat flawed.
I think your inability to comprehend written English is somewhat funny.

Neither do I. Which is why I attach them to an external keyboard.

I don't like how some college classes act like everyone has laptops or smart phones these days. One of my classes has a way for you to send in questions (which get extra credit if they're good) but my desktop is in my room and a data package so I could go on the internet on my phone would be too expensive.
My desktop works for all my needs though. I study better from my own notes rather than annotating slides on presentations, too.

um why would you provide two stories showing that college students mostly use laptops unless you thought i was saying otherwise?

my post stated (in statement 1+2) that college students definitely don't use desktops, it also stated (in statement 3) that the supposed non-college students that you speak of using them, also do not use them. i hope this clarifies my complex technical prose. thank you.

that didn't answer the question. i can read your post and know what it says - i cant understand the underlying need unless you are responding to an argument that asserts otherwise.

nuk my post is just there to comprehensively state on both sides of the coin that the desktop is on the way out.

all that analytic language and yet no common sense.

save face? christ i made a simple post that in the first paragraph concurred with the two people before me with my own experience, and in the second paragraph addressed what you were saying and debunked that, too. you are a queer child.

They're rare enough that people would go to the extra trouble of stealing them?

There's always hard lessons learned by freshmen in the dorms when they don't lock their doors at night and a bunch of laptops always get stolen every year. No one's unplugging and lugging out my tower and 24" monitor without me waking up though.

Who gives a shit? Of all the frequent posters he contributes the least, it was either spam or being an asshole with him, heck Andros is more entertaining than that redneck...Oh, he'll be back anyway, don't worry yourself too much.
