Topic: Desktop or Laptop?Why? (Read 1150 times)

Both desktop and laptop gives us what we need in terms of using it but i think desktop is far more useful to me when it comes to doing multi tasking and yes i have laptop too but i only used it when i travel around my place and goes somewhere else because laptop is easy to carry unlike desktop you can't carry it alone.

It depends upon the usage. If you want something for gaming I prefer desktop. Desktops are designed with separate components, so if ever there's a problem in one of it, it won't affect the other. While for laptops,  they are good for some office stuffs or travel get aways. Simply because they are handy.

A laptop. A desktop is only nice if you are home a lot and like to be tied to one setting. For someone who does full-time crypto-trading the flexibility of a laptop cannot be beat.

Laptop for portability, or desktop if you need raw compute power. Most people however dont need  the kind of raw compute power that a desktop provides, unless they are using it as a specialist gamin rig or for VR or some other specialist use.

If its just general browsing, email, etc, etc have you considered a tablet?

I think it depends on how you use the device.
The desktop computer is more powerful and practical than the laptop, but the laptop is easy to navigate and load.

I agree. Using laptop is way more convenient than using a desktop computer. Right now, I am using my laptop and I'm using it while I am laying down on my bed. I am very much relaxed whenever I use it than using my desktop computer. You can bring your laptop wherever you want because you can just put it inside your backpack.

even though laptop cost more than desktop i still prefer it since i am using it for my presentation and its gives me comfortability and convenience. i can play some rpg games even im in bed i just use a small table 

Laptop!
It's portable and for me personally way more useful, because I don't play Videogames (which would be the main argument for Desktop).
At home I am using a second monitor, so basically no disadvantage towards desktop!

all there are shortcomings and advantages. If you want a computer that can be taken travel then choose a laptop. If you want a cheaper price and better performance but can not be taken travel then choose the desktop

I recommend laptop units for those people required portability, however if your preference is about performance, desktop units are more suitable for you.

Laptop for work related things, desktop for gaming, mining.
But I still prefer desktop more because of the monitor size and placement from where you sit.

I prefer Laptop because it is just easier to transport around, but at work I use a desktop.

Laptop. So compact.

Desktop, because working with a laptop is uncomfortable, it's like being a giant behind a lilliputian computer.

Both have their respective advantages or disadvantages..
But i prefer desktop as i can upgrade it as my choice...

I will definitely choose a laptop because aside from the fact that they have the same specifications as desktop computers, what gives them an edge compared to the other is that you can bring them wherever and whenever you want. Laptop is not also bulky compared when you bring a pc. And you will look like a fool if you bring a pc with you outdoors just to do some works or what.

laptop
because is fleksible not like pc

It depends, if you need it in school then you should buy a laptop. But if you are always at home then i would suggest the desktop.

Desktop, it's more durable and heavy duty than laptop😊

Mostly I use the laptop, but when I want to play I use desktop

Laptop.  Sometimes i miss the big screens and additional computing power that desktops offer, but 99.99999% of the time, the portability and size of a 13" laptop trumps that. 

Laptop because It can carry everywhere

I choose laptop because everywhere i can  carry my laptop..so wherever i go and have an internet i  can join to this forum and update on whats happening on it..also wherever i go i can trade and invest my bt  because i have laptop to use and have ofcourse an internet..unlike to desktop i cant carry it everywhere..though it good to use because of its widely screen but for again laptop is my preferred to use...

Actually it depends on why will you use. For example I always use for business and game, so I need to carry my computer with me. So I have laptop and I always choose laptop instead desktop.

I'd have a desktop. I mean it's pure unadulterated power. I mean you can actually lessen your stress with it especially when typing. I mean you can press with your heart's content with a mechanical keyboard, more so with a gaming mechanical keyboard

I like to use a PC for gaming because it's hard to get a comparable laptop and it would be awkward to play on. It's difficult to use a laptop for a long time as the screen should really be further from your eyes and it doesn't have the same cooling abilities. However, as someone else mentioned, being able to use a laptop without a power source is very useful

Desktop for work and at home laptop

i use both, desktop is for my gaming purposes and laptop is for work related use.
but i love my desktop more because i personally built it my self with high end components inside 
my laptop is just an ordinary one because i just usually use microsoft office and google chrome for my work and just a stable internet 

Laptop of course. Because easy to carry. Can work long time if the electricity is gone.

laptop because can going evrywhere with laptop

At home - desktop, at work - laptop

I got both, but I usually use laptop because desktop consume high of electricity consumption. (Just Saving Few Expenses)

My experience is that desktop last 8 to 10 years. And laptops break earlier 6 or 7 years.
Hard drives die at 4 to 5 years usually so you will need to replace anyway. Battery on my laptops were good for 3 years, then died. Still work great plugged.

Laptop is better than a desktop . It is easy to carry it anywhere as it is bulky and comfortable .

Laptop you can travel with

i used most time pc because it good for hard uses

There's an advantages and disadvatages in both laptop and desktop, the first point is the screen desktops has a bigger screens while laptop is smaller another point is being handy andnit is a disadvantages of having a desktop because desktops is used only for home and offices while the loptops are handy. As a user of laptop you can bring your laptop wherever you want

laptop.

as part of my work to do presentations anywhere my clients are, it would be easier for me to carry it.

well, for work or portability I choose laptop.. for gaming or grafix intense work or play I choose desktop. It rly depends on what you use it for... Its obvious if your always on the go you would choose a laptop right? if you work at home or dont move around much maybe a desktop is the better option... comes down to pratical use and personal preference

I am using a laptop coz, easy and simple

It depend on your use. If you use it for gaming, video editing for work or anything with heavy use, I suggest you buy a desktop. It is easy to upgrade when needed, easy to replace and fix broken parts,  easy to disassemble. But if you only gonna use it for work, gonna bring it to work of school, gonna do paper works ans easy stuffs only, I suggest you buy a laptop, for convenience and easy to carry.

I've always preferred a laptop.
Even if I use it almost always at home, I just enjoy using it in the comfort of my bed from time to time

At home desktop PC is better, because it is more powerful and can have much more bigger screen. But not at home it's another story. In this situation laptop is better, cause it is small and it's easy to put it with you anywhere.

depend on ur use. i use laptop and hook it up with 23 inch moniter. and use it like desktop. but still comparin to desktop performance its low.
if u dun have money & u have to take it outside. i recommend laptop. if not, desktop. u can customize the shit out of it.

I prefer LAPTOP it is much expensive rather than desktop but it is much useful and i will personally recommend it because you can bring it almost anywhere, like students you can bring it to home to school, school to home much easier, laptop can occupy small portion or your space and if your done just put it in your bag tha'ts it.

Laptops are more expensive but its portable. If you travel a lot, laptop is better choice

Laptop is easy to use,better than dekstop i think

Laptop with high specs beacause anytime anywhere you can use it

Laptop if you travel often and need to carry it anywhere.

Desktop if just sit in your sweet home and need a better spec. Laptop's spec is less than computer because laptop is a portable computer. Laptop can be broken if you let it fall from desk. But computer will not be broken because you put it under floor and it is more easy to maintain, upgrade, and clean. Desktop can be use to mine with GPU and has a better PSU unlike laptop. Desktop is better for gaming also.

Nowadays most laptops are nearly as powerful as desktop computers. Unless you have specific needs, you can basically accomplish anything on a laptop that you could on a desktop. Buying a laptop + a monitor for home use, is much more cost-effective than buying a desktop machine.
A 27" 5k retina display is nice and all, but the convenience and portability of a laptop is >>>>>>>

i use laptop because i can bring toall the place 

I choose laptop , because it's portable can i bring everywhere i want

Depends on what im using it for... Basically, I'd go for desktop for something that demands time (ie gaming, thesis, conferences). Come to think of it, I'd use a desktop all the time. I'd just use a laptop for series marathon.

Desktops for heavy usage and home use. Laptop if you have to be outdoors.

Laptop because you can bring it anywhere and its somehow handy.

Laptop you can bring with you to any place. Desktop you can use only in your home/office. But desktop you can use for altcoin mining, laptop you can not use. So there are some advantages for desktop and also for laptop. 

Laptop is for portable use.
Desktop is useful for home based works.

For me i suggest a laptop so you can take it anywhere.

I prefer laptop, because you can use it everywhere

Smartphone. Nobody needs Laptops nowadays.

Laptop, because it's easier to carry around, because it's much thinner than a desktop, can be put in a bag, use it even it's not connected to an electric outlet.

if you want to bring your work everywhere then laptop. else desktop

i prefer laptop we have to do our work anywhere we want due to the wifi facilities. we have to communicate to the people around the world. we have to use the laptop without electricity. we have to use high resolution or high  configuration software on laptop. we have to carry laptop around the world for the meeting.  students can use laptop to create softwares and designing something in the laptop.

I prefer to use laptop. It is because you can bring it anywhere. If you have a presentation at work, you can bring your laptop. Also when you travel.

Desktop for work and at home laptop. Just for convenience

well, personally I like dekstop. but I'll try to explain more. ok, choosing between a laptop and desktop can be a difficult decision. If portability in not a big issue then desktop is the best choice for you. Here is the list of reasons why a desktop PC is always better than a laptop:

1. Performance:
In general, any electronic device gets heated up due to the processes that take place inside their internal components. These need to be cooled either with the help of an air cooling or liquid cooling system to keep them from burning out. The laptop’s motherboard on which all of the components are mounted is enclosed in a smaller framework with lesser number of fans for cooling. This leads to over heating when a large number tasks or heavy load is applied to the processor. This limitation is overcome by the desktop computer’s larger framework and cooling system with more number of fans for air cooling.
2. Easy to upgrade:
Increasing the size of your RAM or adding new  PCI cards and IDE disks requires a larger motherboard and more number of slots for expansion. In a desktop PC, it is very easy as the size of the motherboard doesn’t matter much. In a laptop, the motherboard is fitted in to fixed framework or chassis. Thus it limits the size of the motherboard as the laptops need to be smaller and thinner which leads to the limiting of space to fit in new memory drives in them.
3. Repair:
Repairing a desktop computer is much easier than laptop. The hardware can be easily purchased off the shelf of any local computer retail store for desktop while it is difficult and finding a replacement part often requires calling the computer manufacturer or ordering from another online site.

Desktops are optimal choices for graphic intensive Performance and grapich .

Totally depends on your work,
Do you want it to carry from one place to other than go for the laptop if not then what kind of work you want to do?
If it is for high usage then the laptop is not recommended as it takes more expenses than desktop.
For light usage, Laptop is best.

why using a desktop?
what is the advantages of it over laptop?
laptop you can take anywhere and it does the same

Build a desktop if you're just gonna use it for gaming because it's much cheaper to build a gaming desktop rather than buy a low end gaming laptop. If you're planning to work and play at the same time, might as well buy a gaming laptop with high end specs so you can play and travel around with it.

I prefer laptop. Because it is handy , and i can bring it with me all the time . Even if i am on a vacation but still i have many work to pass , i can work it while im not at home . So laptop is much better than desktop.

I recommend a laptop. because it is easy to carry everywhere, you can use it anytime, if your desktop can not take it everywhere

Laptop!
Because Laptop are very light ,Energy saving and easy to carry.

I choose Laptop. laptop easier to take anywhere. so we can work anytime. although the price is more expensive compared to desktops, but to see the benefits in my opinion it is comparable.

I switched to a laptop for the flexibility. I like how everything is in an easy to carry package (screen, speakers, keyboard etc).

Laptop. Aside from being handy, it is more convenient than desktop. You can can use it wherever you are and whenever you want

i prefer desktop for the bigger screen and better keyboard

Laptops are more comfortable. Thats why i will choose always Laptop.

When i am watching a movie than laptop, playing games desktop!

Depends on your job I'd say. If you're a student, travel a lot or value mobility go for a laptop.
I am a teacher (far away from my home country) so I need a laptop, alone for the purpose to keep working while I travel/visit different schools or have holidays at home.

Laptop! portabilty is an essential point for me, because of work

Both. Desktop for home and office, laptop for travel.

Laptop sir,, because it is easy to carry anywhere.

Notebook because you can take it everywhere

Though there are different sizes in laptop and desktop, I choose laptop in the sense that it's not bulky or handy when you're in travel.

depends. laptops are mobile, if you travel or use it outdoors, in the garden, or in other rooms/bedroom-then it takes the cake. Desktop is more powerful and cheaper, doesnt break that often (hinges, screens etc), doesnt need to be cleaned that often. Good if you use it stationary and own your house so dont need to move, and dont travel(much) or travel without pc.

Desktop because the screen is bigger

I use both

notebook take it everywhere
