Anybody use a laptop as a desktop computer? - GoFuckYourself.com

Naughty · 11-19-2021, 12:47 AM

Getting a new PC, wondering it a new laptop i7/16Gb is enough to not bother getting a new PC, too.

Do some Adobe Suite (Illustrator, PS, AE and PR) work, other than that mostly programming in VSB and whatnot.

Anybody just connected their laptop to external screens and stopped bothering with desktops?

Denny · 11-19-2021, 01:18 AM

Yeah, I have been using it for at least 10 years

Look Chang · 11-19-2021, 01:21 AM

I have always used a laptop with a big external screen and an external keyboard as my main computer. When I have some holly days, I can easily take my "main" computer with me...

Tasty1 · 11-19-2021, 01:40 AM

I only have laptop.

Look for a dedicated graphics cards, not an interated.

just a punk · 11-19-2021, 01:44 AM

My wife uses even her smartphone as a desktop computer ))) She is a copywriter and editor and works for serious companies like 1C...

TurboB · 11-19-2021, 01:56 AM

If you need computing power - you should get a desktop. If not - a laptop with all external accessories can be good enough. However, this setup will be more costly and very limited in a future upgrade of components.

You can easily find on google and compare desktop vs laptop CPU, GPU performances.

Yeah, I've been reading tests and reviews the past two week or so. There's mixed opinions, but it seems the overall opinion is that is is almost starting to even out.

Obviously the laptop route is somewhat more expensive, but with BFCM around the corner, I'm going to grab me a deal or two ;)

I've noticed I have not really been upgrading any components (except for changing HDD to SSD) on my current old i3/16Gb Win7 PC, which runs a LOT better than my much newer Win10 Laptop.

My current PC runs everything pretty great, except rendering of After Effects videos which take for hours.

This is what I have been thinking of, too.

Drop my dual screens for a big ass wide screen and a laptop, possibly with docking station

Sergio · 11-20-2021, 03:08 AM

I only use laptops, now writing from Asus ZenBook with i7

Klen · 11-20-2021, 03:11 AM

I been laptop only user since year 2011. Still, i miss ability to change broken part easily if something goes wrong compared to laptop when something is broken cant be fixed.

SBJ · 11-20-2021, 07:24 AM

I have a gaming laptop with an SSD. I use a dock with a large external drive, two 23" LEDs, a wireless keyboard, and a mouse. Also, a key thing for me is a laptop cooling fan. I currently have 14 browser tabs open with a few other programs and it is fine.

Zuzana Designs · 11-20-2021, 09:59 AM

Yes, I have a laptop with 2 external monitors with a graphics adapter and dock. It makes it so easy when I travel and can just pack up the laptop

GorniHaakin · 11-20-2021, 10:46 AM

A laptop is better than a desktop computer

Sly · 11-20-2021, 11:06 AM

My primary Windows machine has been a laptop for at least 10 years now. I do most of my work on my iMac though.

J. Falcon · 11-20-2021, 11:30 AM

2 laptops and 1 PC...for me.

14 tabs ... amateur, lol.
I have 14 groups, with 14 tabs each, sorta ;)

Looks like Laptops are indeed gaining popularity as the main workstation.

haha trust me I've been there but this is Saturday and I don't do much work on the weekends.

sandman! · 11-20-2021, 07:56 PM

I prefer the power of a good pc but a lot of people I know are laptop only,

OneHungLo · 11-20-2021, 08:48 PM

Desktop only. No way could I work from a laptop.

brassmonkey · 11-20-2021, 10:28 PM

hook it into your tv and use wireless mouse and keyboard

Publisher Bucks · 11-20-2021, 10:45 PM

Yep have been laptop only since around '96.

As mentioned above, i just cast to the flatscreen and work from that

nakedby · 11-21-2021, 12:50 PM

I always carry and external 24 Inch monitor in my suitcase when I travel. When customs asks me funny questions I tell them the display on my laptop is too small.

Rochard · 11-21-2021, 03:26 PM

I have two PCs in my home office here, but I have a third work station set up in the Master Bedroom on a desk there.

I use a Surface Laptop with a Surface docking station. I have the Internet and two monitors hooked up through the docking station, and only one cord to the laptop itself. It's nice. It's like having a full PC but I can pick it up and go at a moment's notice.

That is what I do to watch NFL and NBA games and the video quality is great on my projector but the text quality is nowhere near as good as my monitors.

candyflip · 11-22-2021, 09:55 AM

We're swapping out desktops for laptops as everyone is now remote. Lots of high end laptops out there, just not all that cost effective...when compared to what you'd get for a desktop at the same price point.

I travel with one or two 15" usb monitors, very light and easy to extend the laptop display if I think I'll need the real estate on a trip.

BOOM!

You can also get both, they're Assets.

This way you can take the laptop when you travel.

NatalieMojoHost · 11-22-2021, 02:12 PM

Laptop only for over 10 years, of which 8 on mac laptops, but my computing needs are pretty limited. I have a gigantic widescreen but take my laptop anywhere I need to work, and it's great not having to worry about keeping 2 versions of everything on 2 separate computers.

You need to work in the cloud.

4 big desktops and 2 lappys

Alex BongaCash · 11-24-2021, 06:27 AM

Used laptop and external devices (Monitor, mouse, keyboard) but now on a full tower PC - better perfomance for a same value.

Umbalabob · 11-24-2021, 07:20 AM

I use Laptop only since 2002 wow time flies. I get a new one every 4 years and its always a Gaming Laptop with separate Graphic card. All is smooth but after around 2 years its start that things are not that fast any more even when I clean everything. Setup is big screen, mouse and keyboard.

blackmonsters · 11-24-2021, 08:18 AM

I used to use a laptop; but once I got a all-in-one I liked working with that a lot more than a laptop.

I always felt slumped over my laptops.

Marshal · 11-24-2021, 09:05 AM

Lenovo laptops have perfect docks (either native or USB-C), where you connect your peripherals (monitors, keybord, mouse, etc) and only drop your laptop on top of it / next to it. So you can disconnect your laptop whenever you need it in a second without having to deal with a bunch of cables.

Sergio · 11-25-2021, 02:49 AM

If you travel WW a lot, laptop is only one solution for you

Jay.BongaCash · 11-25-2021, 03:07 AM

I used to keep the laptop under my desktop, with screen, keyboard, and mouse connected to it. The laptop was not great, so I couldn't do any heavy stuff on it. However, it was much more comfortable to use it in that way. And in case I needed to take my laptop with me, the only thing I needed to do is to disconnect a few wires.

PlugRush Sascha · 11-25-2021, 01:27 PM

I use a laptop and hook it up to a docking station with two monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc. in my office. It's great unless you need something very powerful for work or gaming.

this...

you can upgrade but the main situation is if it goes, you replace just the card...

I7, 16gb and try get a ssd, not that a normal drive gives any issues on editing film or pics, gaming, on a laptop especially with decent cooling.

AlexxxSBG · 11-27-2021, 04:41 AM

Laptop with two external monitors... I've been using it for last couple of years

latinaporncams · 11-30-2021, 09:18 PM

i've been using laptop for over 10 years and i do video editing and design that demand lots of resources. just check that the laptop you choose meet your needs

TheLegacy · 12-06-2021, 12:22 PM

Make sure it has Windows 11 on it or is capable of doing so. If not you're going to need to do so in a few years

V_RocKs · 12-10-2021, 09:23 AM

Going forward I will ditch my computer. But for now, I prefer to keep it. When I'm traveling I plug into my keyboard and 34" curved monitor with my laptop. So it's like I'm at home.
