Which is better Desktop or laptop?

Answer 1

A desktop computer can be upgraded, (most of the time) where as a Laptop can't (Majority of the time). For this reason the hardware in the computer or Desktop can be improved. When buying a laptop you will find the spec for a laptop is about half over a desktop of the same price (most places). So you should consider where your buying from. I can Just Fully say don't go to PC world, my recommendation is Toys R us. Go PC world to see the spec/price, then pop over Toys R us or a cheaper place for double the spec for the same price. (Double/Half is only an estimate, try writing them down between shops) Between Desktop and Laptop it depends on the use, foremost the idea of spec and cost i'd opt for a desktop.

Answer 2

If you are the one who works at home and doesn't have a big busness that you need to have a computer to carry around with you (netbooks also work), desktops are a better deal. They may be larger, but they cost at lot less for a fast processor and a larger hard drive and memory. If you need to have computer that you can use on the go, then get a laptop. To get the same hard drive capacity and memory and processor load, a desktop with a certain amount of stuff will cost let's say $500 to $600; and a laptop with the same amount of stuff will cost from $800 to $1,000 (not to freak you out). The reason why laptops cost more is that you have to fit all that stuff into a smaller unit of space.

I personally prefer laptops because you have the freedom to work on it almost anywhere you want; with desktops you could only work in specific place. You can almost get the same quantity of stuff on a laptop as a desktop, it's just that laptops cost more. Laptops also use up to 75% less energy than desktops do.
