[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1097252, member: 56379"] Here are the things that the OP does not seem to realize have improved in laptops since 2004: - much much faster cpus - multi-processor cpu's - much much much better video hardware - much higher max levels of ram - much higher resolution displays - multi-finger gesturing trackpads - much faster hard drives (greatly decreasing application load times) - built-in web cameras - realistic support for external display's - backlit keyboards (very nice in dark rooms) - longer battery life - weight reductions The bottom line is...not many people in 2004 would have considered their laptops to be "desktop replacements"! But today in 2010...laptop/notebook computers are very very capable...and easily can be a desktop replacement. On another note (to the OP)...how much do you think desktop computers (Macintosh or Windows) have evolved since 2004??? In my humble opinion...laptops have "evolved" much much more than desktop computers. - Nick [/QUOTE]
