Not by default.
I have a p6110f desktop by HP ($499) and an NV52 laptop by Gateway ($499). I thought I would run a little test by checking how fast each can copy a file from the local disc C:/ to the desktop. NV52 20~30 mbps. p6110f 80~120 mpbs. Yes the desktop is faster even though the price is the same but the laptop offers mobility.
