i like my monitor, my normal sized keyboard and my proper real mouse...

if i could keep all those, i'd get a laptop instead of my PC

also remember most laptops have shite grafix cards aswell

and upgrades are nowhere near as easy as on a conventuional PC

and it costs lostsa money to fix if it breaks

and 99% of the time youll be using it on your desk anyway
