I think it depends on the user's needs.

I used desktop computers for about 5 years, until spring last year when I bought a laptop. It was more convenient for me to use a laptop, especially for college.

Now I'm at university and I don't think I could survive using a desktop PC instead of a laptop. I can take it to lectures, the library and back home.

I have a top of the line desktop and a barebones laptop that can surf the internet and play movies when i'm not at home.

lol... how does that pretain to the topic at all?

anyways, they both have their uses, so i dont see going either way. gaming and any real intensive stuff like video editing and what not obviously for a desktop. but the portability of a laptop makes it great for college and work.

Is it wrong that my laptop cost less than 1 of my current video cards?

You can get a gateway lappy for less with 17" screen, 3gb ram and an 8800gts 512mb. Macs are horribly overpriced.
