   I have a one year old 16gb ram 4.0 ghz laptop and it doesnt seem any quicker hardly than my high school lappy that was way less powerful
   
   can chronic overheating make it slow?

   We have an olde Englishe (with old worldly e's) saying back in Jamaica that excellently describes the usefulness of laptops, it goes something like this...

   Originally posted by SBTlauien For 2020 I'm planning on getting rid of my desk(which is really old) in my room and moving my desktop PC, printer, monitor, and other items on my current desk, to a tall industrial rack that I'm getting for a smaller area in my room. If I need to use my desktop PC(which I rarely have been lately. Only used it about four times last year), then I can just stand while using it. I'm not sure what I'll place in the place where my current desk is.
   
   I can do everything on my laptops and I really don't need a desktop PC anymore. Has anyone else consider doing this, or even done this?

   
   My last desktop PC was 2011. I have been using laptops for everything since then.
