It depends on what technical specifications you are after. You can buy a mini netbook for around $400AUD which is cheaper than the price of any desktop but has less specificatons. Desktops start at around $700AUD.

The largest difference between any laptop computer and desktop computer is that a laptop is portable and a desktop is not. If you do not require you computer to be portable then a desktop computer is preferable as it will be cheaper to purchase than a laptop of equal specs.

Laptop computers are just as reliable as desktop computers. Like desktop computers, the measure of how reliable the computer is depends on the hardware that went into making it. If you buy a cheap computer the computer itself isn't going to be all that reliable.
How much memory your computer has depends on the size of the computer and how much memory you purchase, not whether it is a laptop or a desktop. Desktop computers tend to have more room for RAM than laptops because there is more physical space in the computer; however, it is entirely possible to have more memory on your laptop than on your desktop. It all depends on how much RAM you purchase and install on your computer.
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.
