I was dead set on a laptop that I configured to around $1400 until I went to the iBuyPower site and configured a similar desktop with no display for around $750.......
So my question to you- what would you do in this situation? I'm mostly talking to college students here- I mean do I need the portability/power? I'm not a heavy gamer, but I'd like to play Oblivion at the VERY MOST, but that's not that big of a deal. Mostly, I want a computer that will last me 4 or more years.
I'm a music major, so I'll need to run some music notation software at some point, although Finale '06 it actually runs "well" on my '98 Gateway (What?) I also use Photoshop on occasion.
I guess the real question- is almost a 50% increase in price worth the added portability? I'm leaning to laptop right now, but I'm really not sure.
