Value for money? on what basis/application?

Laptops can come with equal hardware grunt, CPU etc.. but over a 3year life you'd see a return on that investment through cost savings, such as electricity.

It really depends on what your application is, using a laptop at the heart of a server infrastructure is humours but it can work and it does for me for my personal projects...but def not within a corporate arena - but that application is v. different. Namely budgets and users.

It isn't this what we love about IT - how a single problem has many solutions?
