Which do you have (or use most, if you have both) and what machine is it?

I have a desktop but sometimes I wish I had a laptop. But there are positives and negatives for both.

I have both and I'd say the ratio is something like 99% to 1% (I'm not exaggerating) desktop to laptop. But then, my laptop is a mac, and I only use it for supercollider :P

"......dunno about a g4 or a powerbook"
do you mean a Power Mac G4?
i guess it all depends on your needs. personally i need portability and space saving. my room is a mess as it is, and even when it's tidy there still wouldn't be enough room for a desktop system.
Also, I've always had a thing for notebook systems ;)

I have a desktop, and I'll always have a desktop, unless someone gives me a laptop. From my perch here, anything in the world is just a button press or a keystroke away. I just don't move around enough to warrant having something so portable.
Remember the laptop guns from Perfect Dark? Fucking cheap.

Ha ha, after finally using one of those 17" G4 Powerbooks I've lusted after for the best part of the year, they're nothing special. Panther is a joke and is far less reliable than XP.
