Would you rather have a AMD Turion 2Ghz laptop or a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz desktop pc?

the AMD Turion is 64bit, while the P4 isnt...

however, the Turion is a mobile CPU (designed for laptops) and not really for desktops..

but saying that... from those 2, i'd go for the AMD

Like bigbadkev said.
Plus the desktop will have more expansion/upgrade possibilities open to it.
But if you need the mobility of a laptop...

Are you going to play games?

If Yes, get the desktop.
If No, get the Laptop.

It depends on the laptop really, my laptop plays games... even plays the latest games (Unreal tournament 3) -- what make/model laptop is it? then we can advise further.

Ah, crysis. Played the demo earlier this week. Reversed into a tree in a jeep, and the tree broke, subsequently falling on the jeep and killing me. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

Er, sorry for OT. I'd say go for the laptop, all you'll get with a P4 that's worth saving for the upgrade is the case, maybe the hard drive/DVD drive (though if they're IDE even that might not be worth it these days... SATA is taking over).
