    The final months of 2005 saw laptop sales outstretch those of desktops.

    Blimey!

    Price

    You can get a decent desktop for £300, with a flat screen monitor. You'd pay circa £450 - 500 for compairable laptop

    Memory

    Is what laptops lack.
    Limited by their physical size.
    Best bet is to have a couple of big memory sticks if you use your laptop for games, i-tunes, movies etc.
