Do you still have a desktop computer?

[acri1]

Kinda curious as to what people here think.

Had a coworker tell me he was surprised when I mentioned that I still use a desktop PC at home. He said he thought desktops were dying out and most people didn't use them outside of work anymore. But I don't know if I agree with that...granted, I have a laptop/phone/console/etc too but I still like rocking the regular desktop. I find that desktops have less problems and are easier to upgrade/fix than laptops, not to mention cheaper.

Thoughts on this? Are desktops dying out or is that an exaggeration?

i don't think i'll ever give up that desktop life.
something really amazing would have to come along to knock my desktop out of the box.

we got one. but put it in my daughter's room so she could do her homework. me and the wife have laptops.

Been using my Desktop as a HTPC for years

I need a video card though
Might fix it up and give it to my sister or spruce it up and keep it. Nothing beatsa dedicated HTPC

I have a Retina Macbook which I use all the time but I'm looking at a shuttle PC to hook up to my tv

 

[playplayaj]

im at this crossroads myself
Do i get another desktop? or am i on that laptop life exclusively?

 

[Just Rod]

Yeah... its connected to my TV in the living room and i use it basically as a media center

Haven't had one in years. Somewhere down the line I hope to build a gaming desktop, but that's probably a ways off.

 

[daze23]

yeah, but only for gaming. otherwise I would probably just have a craptop

I'm on mine right now.

As long as I have a home, I'll have a desktop, and use it predominantly.

I still have one. I love desktops. If something goes wrong, it's extremely easy to replace a part if you built it yourself. If you're gaming, a desktop is a must.

Would not be able to live without one, including my TV PC. I have not used my laptop in like two months.

 

[ManxOfxThexYear]

Yep

Im about to buy a new one the beginning of next year too, since the one i have is old and not much memory. I cant do work/school work on laptops.

Yes 27in iMac that I do everything on. Can't see myself without a machine that I can't upgrade and do real work with. Ipad/tablets are cool but you aren't gettiny shyt done with them. I will eventually get a MacBook air for the times when I'm not home and absolutely need a machine that can run real programs and not just apps.
