And for demos and presentations (yeah its part of developers life!) a laptops perhaps. I also hope that tablets replace laptops just like CRT was replaced by LCD/LED.

CRT was replaced by LCD/LED because LCD/LED was better. You can't replace laptops with tablets becase they can't replace laptops. You can't type in the same way, they're smaller so you can't cram the same hardware into them, etc. So it's apples and oranges.

My laptop is 1 year old now and I can still play the newest games at 1920x1080. Maybe a desktop would last longer, but I'm paying a bit more anyday for the mobility. The keyboard is 17" so it looks just like my regular desktop keyboard.

That's true, my G74SX hardly lasts 2 hours. But I don't use it on battery too often, so for me it's not a problem.

I used a desktop for 10 years and had been trying different laptops:

* Acer Ferrari, $1900

* Some Lenovo model, $600

* Some HP model, $700

I was so disappointed by the Acer which ran hot so fast, and the other two were a bit slow when compiling and testing games.

But I got persuaded to buy a ASUS G74SX and now I'm never going back to a desktop again. It's so fast and never runs hot. The only downside is that it's huge, which I guess is why they call it a desktop replacement. So it's quite bulky to carry around.

Why would you "hate" IE or its users because you're not using it yourself? Why does everything have to be black and white..

Besides, your difference in 0.01 secs could be due to latency, cpu scheduling or the position of the moon. The real difference could be much bigger, or smaller. But really, does it matter?

If you like IE, use it.
