I'm with you Curtis, the desktop is the way to go...that is why I am looking as low cost as possible. Unfortunately I am being out-voted here. My wife is on my daughters side. On the other hand I can see her/their point a little. I tend to hog the family PC alot and she spends alot of time doing homework in her room. She also claims that she would take it to school and use it during study-hall. The school does have a PC-lab but their access time is limited.
