at the back of the laptops is a cooling fan, it is not as powerful as the desktop computers but if is sufficent if you play games on the laptop it might over heat there for it would be better to play games on a desktop computer!!
Sony uses memory sticks, but its not the kind your thinking of, which are better suited for laptops and desktop computers.
The reasons why new computers get bad ratings when they are indeed so much better than before is because desktop computers can not be carried anywhere you want like laptops do.
It is probabely because it is portable and desktop's aren't. and for Laptops can you can probabely Burn DVD's and for Desktops of the past you can't do that. For the new Desktop's you can. Desktops aren't portable but Laptops are.
It depends entirely on the computer. No brand is inherently better than another. Computers are the sum of their parts.
No. Both are equally good. Desktop computers will be less expensive with some more features, like more memory or hard drive space than a laptop, but laptops are portable. So depending on your use one may be better suited to you.
PC a.k.a. desktop computers
Desktop computers are usually better than laptops this is because they store more documents/ have more memory and they do not need a charger because they stay plugged into the mains at all times when they are turned on so there is no way they can run out of charge.
Windows is better for desktop computers. Linux is better for servers.
IBM does not make laptops. IBM makes processors that are used in computers, but not actual computers. So the answer to your question would have to be Dell.
