I'd like you all to know that I converted over to using only a laptop very easily for a guy my age. It went like this...

My daughter the graphics designer: "Dad, unless you are running a server or doing serious graphics, database or programming work you simply don't need a desktop any more."

Me: But I like to game at really high resolutions!

Her: Dad, laptops routinely display at 1920 x 1080 now, just like your desktop.

Me: But I like a dedicated graphics card with at least a gig of RAM!

Her: Gaming laptops have that now.

Me: But I like to have a fast processor, too!

Her: Dad, you can get them with i5 and i7 processors now.

Me: Really?

Her: Here. Happy birthday. Enjoy your new gaming laptop. After we back up and reformat your old desktop we're donating it to St. Vincent de Paul.

Me: Urk.
