But even before my new job, when I was just blogging full-time and doing paid blogging, having a laptop definitely had its perks. I've had my desktop since '05, and I got a laptop in '06 -- which I replaced with a better one in '08, and then an even better one in '09. Oh, and I just bought myself a netbook tonight, so when I'm running around I can just drag a nice, small little 11" computer along instead of my monstrous 17" laptop lol. With that said, yes, you should definitely invest in a laptop! It's true that you pay more to get the kind of hard drive space, processor speed and memory that you get in a desktop, but the definite trade-off is having something portable! :D As a full-time freelance writer and blogger, and now an employee for an adult company that keeps me plenty busy with email correspondence, having a laptop is a downright necessity.

I do almost ALL of my computing on a laptop. I take it with me sometimes when I'm working away from home, and sometimes (like now) I just enjoy sitting in the recliner instead of the desk chair. My dad, on the other hand, is a firm believer in desktops. You can get more memory and basically "more power" in all things with a desktop. So it really is up to you. Think about what you will use a new computer for, and whether a desktop or laptop would better meet those needs. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. melinda AT melindamusil DOT com.

We always bring it with us on vacation, and I use it at home in bed sometimes. But we're pretty nerdy like that. ;) I don’t have a laptop, but my husband does.
