I am buying a new PC and will use my exisiting desktop PC to run SQL Server and Report Server and use the new one to run .Net and other tools (which are new to me)
Everyone seems to buy a laptop these days. But you can't have a very big screen with a laptop and someone suggested I'd be much better off with a desktop PC with a large screen. What would forum members recommend?

With many laptops you can hook up an external screen and have 2 running at once. It gives you portability, but ease of use when you're at home.
I have 2 LCD monitors (19", 17") and it's almost necessary when working with Visual Studio. It becomes a joy when you're working with two items and you need to cut and paste as well. Or having SSMS and an editor, VS, etc. on the other side.
I like my desktop because for a lot lower price I can get 2GB of RAM and faster CPUs, but if you might need the portability (I have a separate laptop), then you might want to invest in just a laptop.
