Great question... but I would also love to know for those of you who do scrap on a laptop, how do you stand it? LOL I have software on my laptop but the screen is too small for me to see a 12x12 page at any decent size. So what size screen do most have on laptops? I stopped using mine and now scrap on our more powerful desktop with a huge screen... but it is the family computer so I get less time.
I find generally that with our desktop, scrapping goes more smoothly in general, too. It's more powerful, has a better graphics card, bigger screen. Those are the big advantages with our current computers. I do wish I could comfortably scrap on a laptop, though, that would be fun, so I could get together with a friend.
