Use Portable Apps on Laptop ?

Hi all,
This is probably a silly question but is there any reason why I should'nt use Portable Apps on my laptop instead of using the full versions of the software ?
I ask because due to finances I could only afford a "Special Offer" laptop and consequently have a 40gb HD.
Ok, it's not that small but I do a lot of video etc, work and it soon gets clogged up so every saving of space I can make is important.
Thanks for a great product !
Regards,
Jon

Not Really

They may be a tad bit slower, but really, they're not that much smaller than the regular app, so you're really best using the local version.

If your really want to save space...

You might want web-based apps you can use on the internet. In Jumpcut, you can even load the video onto their servers.
P.S. I know how you feel about 40gb. I got a laptop with at 25GB hard drive.

Thanks !

Hi all,
Many thanks to all of you for giving me your opinion, much appreciated !
I hear what you say and will have a think, it's just I like the neatness of PA's and find it all goes together so well, especially with the launcher.

Jon
