Miscellaneous laptop discussions : Laptop Vs Desktop Performance

In regards to power

Any info on this would be appreaciated but I've heard that the merom processor is the be the main high end processor for the Intel line when it comes out now if this is true and forgetting about hd speed and graphics cards(yes I know these are relevant) but in theory this would put the same processor in both desktops and laptops allowing the same computing power. As for laptop part inferiority as compared to the desktop couterpart well I'd have to say of course they are your using a machine built to give you the best performance but while maintaing a relativly low temperature and well the price of power until they figure out how to work it otherwise is heat or in other words energy. And well with a laptop you have less room to dissapate the heat naturally and thus either have to wait for technology to catch to make a chip of comparable strengh anyways all common since stuff. Anyways you buy a laptop for portability like a few have said and it will always be more portable than your destop even the 17-19" version that are 12 pounds are lol but those really will fry their hd every year or so as someone else mentioned. But anyways my word is basically this if you want a good computer to go into your room and lay back on your bed and use or just move around the house take the laptop and a good quality one if you want to do some things with it if you want to run all the new games and the best stuff take and portabilty doesn't matter to you take the desktop its not to hard to upgrade on your own but if your running the top parts b4 the heat reduction technology for them comes out you might want to look into a lot of fans or some other type of cooling for them anyways hope that jumble helps anyone out there trying to pick between the two. As a few have said to each his own.
