well im in a tough spot here. just recently mabye 3 months ago i started to tke poker real seriously, (playin10$nl) nd stuff and im finally winnin at a decent rate(50nl/100nl). anaways about 2 years ago i got a 13.5" sony vaio laptop, real nice and all. but now with addons like pahud, pt, ptomaha and all that shit my laptop seems to be lagging. so my question is should i hookup my laptop with new memory and all that stuff, or should i go buy a new laptop or desktop? im not a total donk, i did go and buy a nice 250$ samsung 22" monitor which i hookup to my laptop and it works great. what have you guys done/would you do? im basicly looking to spend around 1k here but give me all suggestions

i have an inspiron 1720 17". no problems with vista. i had a problem with it not hibernating yesterday and just called dell, though they talked for an hour they fixed the problem...great service

later in the night i thought back about that process though and it is very scary that technology allows them to control my computer.. i mean if they can do that what else can they do

very true.

its all person oriented though. If you play games and poker, go with a desktop. If you just play poker and surf the internet a laptop would be good for you(i use a laptop with a 22'' LCD sitting right above it :D)

Desktops are far superior. Laptops are not only a huge and annoying pain in the ass but their parts also degrade over time because of heat and close proximity.

100% desktop, you can get a pretty good desktop for 1k these days, and a decent but not that great of laptop.

+ you already have a laptop so why would you want another one? if you want to travel etc just use that.

yeah i own a laptop (which i used to build my roll), then got some cash to set up a decent desktop with a 22 inch screen, planning to buy another 22 incher soon. i rarely use my laptop anymore coz 24tabling on it burns my eyes

The only reason I would get a laptop over a desktop is if you travel a fair amount and want to take your poker with you. Other than that, desktops are cheaper, more powerful, and more versatile. There is nothing a laptop has to compete with a dual monitor setup on a desktop.

The only option I could see would be if you get a laptop with a decent video card and when you are at home plug your laptop into something absurd such as a 30" screen. Then when you travel, just take the laptop with you. Problem is, 30" monitors are very expensive.

My current setup is a 24" main monitor and 20" for my secondary. The two of them allow me to fit everything I need on screen and have it be good size. Since your physical and emotional comfort is paramount in poker, that is something I would pay a lot of attention to.
