It depends on what the manufacturer put in and if any was added by the buyer. The technical term for memory is RAM (Random Access Memory) You'll have to check the specs to see which computer has more. Popular stock RAM sizes are 512MB and 1GB of RAM. In general, desktops have the capacity to hold more RAM than laptops. Some laptops now hold up to 4GB of RAM, but you'll likely have to buy extra RAM to max it out. Some desktops now how up to 16GB of RAM. Ram is particularly important in Video and Sound editing. If you're simply needing to run Microsoft Office and surf the web, then a laptop with 1GB of RAM is probably all you'll need.

What are the benefits of using a desktop computer over a laptop?
some people find laptop computers a bit awkward to use, using the mouse pad takes getting used to, the keys/monitor may not be in the right position you are used to, and I think upgrading a laptop may be difficult if impossible, you can buy add ons like a mouse and extra hard drives but then the laptop becomes harder to carry around. Modern laptops are quite powerful but i would say cost more than the desktop equivalents. Ask a friend if you can borrow one for a few days just to see what there like before you buy.
