When I first started blogging I had a laptop and even though I liked it I wasn't using it as it was meant to be. I didn't go outside or roam the house to blog and I didn't care for the touchpad or button mouse. I wanted a full size trackball and keyboard. That's one of the reasons I switched back to a home desktop pc.

Don helped me build my desktop pc and I love it. I have a flat screen monitor, full size keyboard and of course my ergonomic trackball which keeps my wrist from getting tired and sore.

Another reason I prefer desktop model is we can upgrade the components we want. If I want a different case I can have it, if I can add more memory, upgrade my processor, video or audio and if the hard drive crashes I only have to replace that and I can do it myself. No shipping it out and paying out the ying yang for repairs or a new laptop.

I'm sure if I travelled for work or was constantly on the move I'd change my mind about wanting a laptop but for now I'll stick by my desktop pc and maybe look into a tablet for the times I want to be connected and away from home.
