Is owning a laptop more important then owning a desktop computer for most people?

I think it depends on the person, but if you are a secretary, or someone who needs to do a lot of office and school work for most of the day then yes, owning a laptop can be more important then a desktop if you are never home or travel a lot.

For example, the President of the United States probably uses his Laptop more then his Desktop computer to send e-mails to the army, the senate, congressmen, and judges.

I rather own a PC then laptop.

Same for me since I don't really have a need to take a laptop wherever I go like people who work away from home on a laptop.

I'd rather have a laptop, I can't brong a PC from my moms to my dads. I would need 2.

I agree if you live at two places, or you travel a lot to different houses or buildings a laptop would be better since you'll always have your files with you.

PCs are getting smaller these days.

I think a person should buy a laptop when he is mostly out of home or if he has his university or something going on. If a person is mostly at home then PC ftw for him!

Indeed, but sadly monitors are about the same size until the day when Glasses with PC monitors are built-in to the lenses of your glasses. Keyboards and mice are also still rather big unless you buy mini-keyboards and mice which can be uncomfortable to use, and more costly. Speakers are still rather big except for more expensive mini speakers which offer good sound for the size.

I forgot the monitor part, but not a big issue if the other home already has all the other things.

If you find yourself traveling a lot for both business and pleasure then I'd say that yes having a laptop is important, but personally, I'd rather have both.. The desktop for home use and the laptop for use on the road..

Once laptops come with a detachable monitor which I can put on a stand like the stand found on most newer monitor to make the monitor taller, or shorter by adjusting the metal arm on a monitor

like this stand for the iPad1.

, and the keyboard is like a full size desktop keyboard, and it is detachable I think more people switch to a laptop.

The thing I dislike about Laptops is if I'm sitting on a tall chair which can't be adjusted lower, I sometimes need to slouch over a bit to use my laptop.

Plus, I'm too used to standard full sized desktop keyboards.

But, I think right now, or in a few years when super fast laptop comes out at an affordable price, people can't really tell the difference in speed when you compare a laptop vs a standard desktop speed.
