I never really like laptops since they get hot when I type on them, and I don't like my fingers feeling warm keys, and the heat can sometimes make the room feel hotter during the summer. Plus, the RAM, power adapter, and battery sometimes fail, and cost so much to replace. Plus, the sound of the fans spinning up and down is annoying.
Windows Update is also very annoying since those updates which Microsoft is huge when you haven't used the laptop for months.
Plus, laptops are kind of heavy compared to an eReader or Tablet which are good enough for my needs when I am out for an hour or less.
I prefer a Tablet and Desktop as my main computing devices.
