Yeah seen those...

I buy desktops because for $500 dollars give or take a little, I can get much faster processor, much more ram, ssds, etc. for fraction of the cost of a laptop and I can drive two monitors with that without needing a docking station. Throw in an iPad for $400, I have spent $900 dollars. Still cheaper than laptop and docking station.

I also like buying stuff that lasts 4-5 years.

I don't regret buying my boat but I was careful when i did it ** -- HokieDan95 05/23/2019 4:58PM

Fresh water is much less damaging than salt water exposure. -- EDGEMAN 05/24/2019 08:35AM

Yes I'm not a fan of the whole trailering thing either...i have options -- HokieDan95 05/24/2019 11:42AM

I’d like to get a pontoon boat. But -- YardBird 05/23/2019 8:32PM

Probably the most practical kind of boat to own. ** -- HokieDan95 05/23/2019 11:04PM

Prefer my desktop computer over my laptop!!!!! -- EDGEMAN 05/23/2019 4:11PM

I'm with you on the desktop..I have 2 large monitors and can see my tv -- capitals1 05/23/2019 7:13PM

I think my next PC will look like this: -- 81_Hokie 05/23/2019 4:43PM

Desktop computer? That's ridiculous. ** -- CochraneResident 05/23/2019 4:00PM

I would go tablet/laptop IF I could get a "docking" station -- HokieForever 05/23/2019 4:04PM

A decent docking station is less than $100** -- Beerman 05/23/2019 4:09PM

That drives two monitors over displayport? ** -- HokieForever 05/23/2019 4:25PM

Dual displayport is going to push it a bit higher -- Beerman 05/23/2019 4:28PM

Yeah seen those... -- HokieForever 05/23/2019 4:34PM

Sure -- Beerman 05/23/2019 4:54PM

Hmm, touche ** -- HokieForever 05/23/2019 4:55PM

Yeah. I didnt get one or the printer. -- HokieR 05/23/2019 4:01PM

Yeah. It's been said here before and elsewhere but the thing -- jmanatVT 05/23/2019 4:15PM

I would include DVDs too especially if you like to watch -- VTHokie2000 05/23/2019 4:08PM

Solid list except desktop and printer ** -- FfxStationHokie 05/23/2019 4:06PM

Credit card one is misguided. Should say don’t buy crap you can’t afford ** -- MExpos27 05/23/2019 6:55PM

The desktop makes sense for a lot of people who only use a computer -- hoosnowahokie 05/23/2019 4:36PM

Anyone who does "hard core" computer work is better served by a desktop -- EDGEMAN 05/24/2019 08:09AM

While I have a laptop at home -- Tafkam Hokie 05/23/2019 6:53PM

Gaming too. The desktop is much cheaper over time. You can swap out -- ElbertoHokie 05/23/2019 4:59PM

Yes- sound cards and video cards make it awesome. ** -- YardBird 05/23/2019 8:34PM

Right and would rather use a tablet anyway, much lighter ** -- HokieForever 05/23/2019 4:43PM
