What are the benefits of using a desktop computer over a laptop?

some people find laptop computers a bit awkward to use, using the mouse pad takes getting used to, the keys/monitor may not be in the right position you are used to, and I think upgrading a laptop may be difficult if impossible, you can buy add ons like a mouse and extra hard drives but then the laptop becomes harder to carry around. Modern laptops are quite powerful but i would say cost more than the desktop equivalents. Ask a friend if you can borrow one for a few days just to see what there like before you buy.

This would depend on the type and model of computer. Generally, on a desktop computer, the power button will be on the front of the tower. Sometimes it can be on the side of the tower if not on the front. If it is an all-in-one computer, such as the imac, it may be on the monitor itself (possibly back or front). If you are using a laptop, it can often be found at the top right just above the keyboard. some older laptops have the button on either the side or front of the laptop.

If you do have a wireless router on, you don't need any other computer to be on, say if you have a laptop downstairs, and a computer with the router upstairs, the computer can be off, but the router has to stay on, and you can access the internet using the laptop from downstairs, if you have a good enough signal. Hope this helps!
