Computers have successively shrunk in size as miniaturized electronics improved.
Therefor the desktop computer was made 18 years before the laptop computer.
Actually, I think the laptop was invented when man first learned to sit down. Oh, you mean the laptop computer!
Yes, the desktop computer came out first with the miniaturization of electronics eventually leading to the "luggable" computer such as a friend's Compaq computer that I saw when back in junior high. This was a unit that had a built-in green monochrome CRT screen, a 5-1/4" floppy drive (or was it two?), and a keyboard. The keyboard folded up in front of the screen and floppy drive(s) for transport. All together, this thing weighed about 30 pounds. Fortunately, it had a nice, strong carrying handle mounted atop its outer steel shell. Still, this was by no means something you wanted to cast about very often.
Laptops started appearing on the scene a few years later and something more like what we know today started making their way into the market around 25 years ago with color video being introduced in LCD panels around 22-23 years ago...but at a very high price tag. (The first one that I sold was to a doctor in Las Vegas and that was sold for no less than $10,000.)
If you have any other questions, feel free to drop me a line. I am always glad to help.
A laptop is a small compact form factor PC that is portable enough to sit on your lap, a desktop PC is larger with separate parts designed to be static and sit on your desktop.
There is no way. You would have a buy a PC.
A laptap can contain all the same elements as a desktop pc by simply using smaller parts although this does usually make them more expensive than a desktop.
There are many, but an example of some are: Desktop Laptop Mainframe Supercomputer
using a cradle.
It was called PC. Notebooks or Desktops. Some people PC in a bad way though.
No offense, But do your self a favor and get a desktop gaming PC not a laptop. You would get a better PC for less money
"PC" or "Mac" refers to the architecture of the computer, not the form factor. A computer made by Toshiba, Acer, Hewlett-Packard, ASUS, or Dell is a "PC", regardless of whether it is a desktop or laptop. A computer made by Apple is a "Mac", regardless of whether or not it is a laptop or a desktop.
The advantage of buying a desktop PC over a laptop is that it usually costs the same, but is much more powerful. They have more storage and do not need to be charged. You can upgrade a desktop and use a better sound system than a laptop.
if you mean why is a desktop preferred over a laptop. then i would answer that they aren't and that laptops are preferred because of their convenience
The RAM that is used for a laptop is not the same as the RAM that you would use in a desktop PC. The RAM that is used for a PC is much too big to be used in a laptop, so a laptop has to use a much smaller RAM card which is called SD-RAM.
Well if you can download it you can play at Bigfish.com .And if you are on a desktop it plays easy but if you are on a laptop you can play more games then a desktop.
