Hi With anybody trying to start up a small business using J2EE and chasing clients is it a good idea to spend extra and buy a laptop instead of a desktop? I've had differing opinions on this. One said that a laptop is essential for displaying demo applications to clients in their offices or where-ever. Another said a laptop can be overkill and would take a lot of presentations to pay for itself and that colour printouts of the demo app would be more than enough. I was told I'd be better off spending the money on a good desktop. I'm in no hurry but I'm looking at replacing my aging Pentium 2-350 desktop after I get this year's tax return done. It's six years old and I'll give it to my relatives when I get my next confusor. I am on a tight budget so if I do get a laptop I'd want to make sure it was a justifiable decision. Apart from trying to start up my business I'm a part time IT student and I'm hoping to do the Sun J2se exam this year. Thanks Peter Mount info@petermount.au.com
