Why laptops shouldn't replace desktops

ZDNet | at | by Mike

I was not thrilled last week to see that sales of notebook computers are now larger than the sales of desktops. Not that I don't understand the attraction. Notebooks are, after all, romantic computing--in the sense that notebooks allow you to take your computer to someplace more romantic than your office. That is, as long as it's a romantic place indoors--notebook screens don't work outside, at least not for me. So I guess taking a notebook to sunny Bora-Bora to write my columns on the beach is out of the question (and my travel budget).
