I've primarily been a desktop user, but I'm thinking about going with a laptop. What are some of the benefits of having a laptop as opposed to a desktop?

The main benefit of owning a laptop is the fact that it's portable. You can take it with you on trips and it can act as a portable DVD player as well. I'd definitely go laptop. A laptop is not only more portable, but since you are an avid desktop user, you can connect your laptop to a docking station to make you feel more at home. That way you have the mobility if needed, but you have the comfort of your same old keyboard and mouse. If you will be taking your laptop outside with you, you should consider a rugged laptop from buytough.com.


How do you connect a laptop to a PC if the laptop does not have an OS and the PC runs XP?

Install xp on the laptop. A laptop won't work without an operating system.You can do this. But how do you mean "connect"? If you want to share files, then here's a way. If the laptop has a floppy drive and a network card you can make a network bootdisk to boot the laptop and connect to the laptop using ethernet . This will allow you to access shares on the desktop and u can copy over files from the laptop to the desktop but you can't access the laptop from the desktop.You can also try "LapLink" google it for more info.
