∙ 14y agoAnswer: Laptop versus Desktop: Advantage and disadvantage of each. In general, the advantages of a laptop are the disadvantages of the desktop and vice-versa. The main advantage of the laptop is definitely its portability. You can put it into your bag and carry it everywhere. Besides, it has an internal rechargeable power source which does not restrict you to one place. Conversely, a Desktop is bulkier and significantly less portable.
A Laptop will be appreciably more expensive than a similarly configured Desktop. Laptop drawbacks include: (i) the size of display screens are usually only 15 inches (17" max) and (ii) lack of enough room for internal fans to cool the main CPU.

If you just want to watch movies or read books, for example, you may want to buy a tablet instead of a computer. If you want to write software programs, a tablet will not be as powerful and helpful as a computer.
