Petz, seti - Or a docking station, like my wife has used at work for years that allows the full-size keyboard, etc., as well as the full-sized monitor? Certainly an option for those who want to take their machine back and forth and have the big screen/keyboard option also. But it is extra cost. My point is there are lots and lots of people for whom a desktop makes eminent sense. (Also lots of people for whom notebooks make eminent sense). There is no way one can reasonably say hardly anyone has a reason for a desktop. If you don't need to move the machine (and for many business purposes, one explicitly does not want an easily transportable machine), desktops are more cost effective. Also for many people disk performance is a prime limiting factor in performance. Most desktops come with 7200 rpm and most notebooks with 5400 rpms (and smaller capacity). Again you could buy a 7200 rpm notebook drive and change it, for extra time and/or money.
