I was having a friendly discussion with someone this morning about PC and Laptops for work/education stuff, he suggested that I could use a chromebook for all this stuff and this would be a good idea and make things easier. I strongly disagreed with this, mainly because I hate laptops, the keyboard and touchpad make me angry and my PC does everything I need. Most things are synced to my phone for the rare times I may want to add something while out and about. So I thought I’d come here and seek other peoples opinions on laptops vs pc your needs? also if you are feeling bored and want to head on over to the survey ive linked and fill in a few questions I can more easily gather data to make into fun graphs, which if the data agrees with me, I can shove it in his face or should I be in the minority I can let him have this win.

    PC is a funny word. You can ask Mac or PC (From the era when PC was short for IBM (compatible) PC (vs Apple’s PC offerings). But apparently laptop vs PC is also a distinction for some people.

    Nowadays I think of a PC as a computer that isn’t a dedicated headless server. Or maybe one that isn’t a work station for your professional work?

    Anyway, is really a term from a bygone age.
