    Hi guys, my pc tower system is getting pretty old now. I built it myself with parts suggested to me. Now I'm looking at replacing it. The question is do I get another tower or go for a laptop? I don't play games on it but do do movies.
    Your opinions would be appreciated.

    Yeah, ok see what you mean. I have had to replace HDD in the past and reseat the cpu. Non of these would have been very easy with a laptop.Trouble is the wife is tempted by having a laptop. The portability is tempting but then it prob wouldn't move far from where the desktop is at the moment.

    a tower can have more rom drives then a laptop. also a tower is easier & cheaper to fix then a laptop.
