Hello,Howdy and welcome.......

Are Laptops nowadays just better tham regular PC's or are there trade-
offs between them,besides the $price$???

And I'm talking about the up-to-date ones..........

There are always trade-offs. A desktop PC can be loaded up with extra drives, etcetera, will be easier to upgrade (if you want, say, a new video card), and will be cheaper.

So, for instance, my main personal computer is a laptop, but all my email goes to a server in the basement, and I check it remotely. Best of both worlds.

Technically the war of laptops began this year.
I own a $2400 notebook, here's the specs:

Dell Inspirion 8200 series Notebook
1.8Ghz Intel P4
512 Mb DDR
64 Mb DDR nVidia GeForce 440 Go 4x AGP
30 Gb HDD
CD-RW / DVD Combo drive
15.7'' LCD Screen
Internal 56k and 100/10 base T 3com nic

Most of which the money went towards accidental insurance for 3 years

The thing is what exactly do you do and plan to do in the future. Inspirions are the first on the line for extreme customization, i.e. yes, you can upgrade the video, the cpu, the memory, the modem with interchangable parts to be done by Dell.

PC Gamer has also released information on Alienware's notebook designs that have actual desktop CPU's installed. (Crazy!) but the downfall was only a 30 minuite battery, lol.

I never had a notebook before but I highly recommend getting one but hold off on getting one until the prices start falling in the middle of the war.
