Answer: 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.

Are laptops cheaper to own than computers?

Well, for one thing, laptops are basically computers. They can compute like, what I'm guessing you're referring to, desktop computers. However, Desktop computers are actually cheaper to own that laptops, if you look at a comparison of price to performance. So in a sense, you get more bang for your buck with desktop computers as compared to laptops. If you're looking at matinence costs, etc., then it would still be cheaper to own a desktop pc. Laptops have a much higher chance of getting broken that desktop computers, and of course, data theft is a large problem with laptops if you accidentally leave yours in an airport or other public place.
