18k worth of laptop is not worth it unless it's a bargain sale. first to consider is the battery life since it has been used you dont wanna spend another 6k or more for battery replacement. also at that price i dont think it will perform better as laptop slows down faster in just a couple of months. it may either jeopardize the system's performance particularly the graphics especially if you're planning for cam2cam communication. i suggest you spend another 10k or more for a better performance laptop or better yet buy a new one that costs around 19k-24k

I agree about the battery life which will decline as the machine ages in most cases.

but the computer slows down after a few months

A defrag and a some housekeeping (ie get rid of files and programs not used particulalry ones which run in the background) should sort that out

laptops don't usually have high-capacity hard disks and for heavy users like me i usually fill the hard disk in just a few weeks so performance slows down... paging file is compromised and memory can't handle multiple programs running during startup.

desktop is economical, versatile and bulky - can be upgraded if you want to run programs which needs high system requirements (photoshop, games, video editing, etc).. also, parts can be easily replaced.

laptop is portable, easy to use yet expensive, but you can get rid of it easily (students usually go for 2nd hand laptops). and nowadays wi-fi spots can be found everywhere...

for long term investment and power, i go for desktop
for convenience = laptop
social status (here in d phils) = laptops

Same here in the UK with laptops

Sounds like you need to back up your HDD jeez how much you need to carry about with you

Get a Wifi portable hd some of them are hugggee now bug it in your car or pocket.

I used to shoehorn data on my lappys HDD but now as you say with WI FI everywhere and portable data so cheap i can keep much of the data remotely and only pick up as needed.

But saying that it because I also now use solid state drives and to justify it to the bosses (id rather not waste my own money honest i needed 64gb) along with the wifi portable storage, and with wlan and 3g + so cheap they dont complain if i use remote storage
