Heading home for the holidays in college was always an ordeal for this desktop diehard.
While my friends dropped their laptops into messenger bags and walked out the door, I was still under the desk unhooking an ungodly tangle of monitor cables and USB cords, coughing on dust, and looking for enough dirty laundry to pad my fragile LCD monitor for the trip home.
It occurred to me, at some point, that it really might be better to just cave and invest in a laptop. I did, not long later, and never looked back. In fact, at this point, my home desktop has been broken for months, but I haven’t bothered to fix it because my trusty laptop gets me by just fine at home, at work, and on the road.
