more choices

...

with my impending registering as self-employed, my world of personal computing purchases is opening again. Self-employed status means that I can buy a new pc or laptop for my work purposes and save myself a useful bit of VAT and therein lies the dilema. Would a laptop or a desktop serve my work better?

Occasionally, I need to take my work with me to various places, be it when I'm at my aunt's place or even to the office to work "on-site", having my own machine with my own sample library, CAD blocks, photo references as well as my own entertainment would ultimately be useful. It'd also mean that there would be a free PC at the office for when-ever there is need for the office machines.

Then again, for the price of a laptop that would serve my needs, I can get myself a truly kick-ass desktop.

What makes more sense?

In an ideal world where money really is no problem, I'd get both: a brand spanking new Shuttle PC and a back-up secondary Laptop for all of my computing needs but alas, right now, I should only get one or the other.

Or I could hang on for another few months and get more cash first.....
