The Decline and Fall of Desktops
I never feel bad for Eli 24.5.
Well, except for this: never experiencing a great desktop. He's been using laptops since junior high and I don't think he'll ever have a standalone desktop.
He's missing out on one of life's great pleasures.
I was trying to answer an email from Sony today involving a request for additional earbud tips. I had to fill out a form, and I was trying to use my phone.
Phones are terrible for entering data. Quite good for retrieving, but lousy for inputting. It took me multiple minutes and when I submitted it the damn thing crashed with quite the error message from Sony.
I went home, used my desktop, and had the form filled out in 45 seconds. Submitted. Done.
Inputting data. Watching videos. Playing games. In general, just doing shit with no stuttering or delays. Desktops kick ass in every category.
Laptops? They're fine, I guess. Portable, which is convenient at times. But when you're home, absolutely nothing beats a nice desktop and good monitor.
A docking station for the laptop? Yeah, that works, too. It's not the same, though.
Someday, I hope Eli has a powerful desktop with an unreasonable amount of memory. A luxury ride.
