I currently do everything as far as home pc needs on a desktop. However, I am thinking of ditching the desktop for a laptop so I have the flexibility to move around – I live in a condo and don’t have a lot of room for a huge desk and all that crap. Pls help me on this: -I want to still to be able to download movies and music as I do now but not store them on the actual laptop but instead store it on an external harddrive -- is that possible? -Also, I don’t want to burn out the burner of the laptop so I would get an external burner as well Am I on the right track here? Can a laptop still give me the usefulness and advantages as my desktop?
yes on the external hd & burner. laptop in not as upgradeable as a desktop & will have problems with some games due to the videocard not being upgradeable.
But I never play games so is my idea a good one? Also, I have a brand new big screen tv - could I hook up the laptop to the tv and bypass having to download movies altogether? Just watch them from the laptop on the big screen? Is that a good idea?
