I find desktop very comfortable. Laptop is very sensitive.

We can always easily look the spare parts of the desktop when something is wrong. AS far as i know.

I guess it depends on the person you are.If you are always moving around then go for a laptop but if your mostly at home or something like that go for a desktop.

yes it's true that laptops are very sensitive. the keyboard for example can break down only after a year of use. I still prefer to have a laptop though because i can bring the unit around wherever i go. i need this a lot because i am an online writer with a lot of other things going on.

laptop is very advantage to me because of my course which is BS Information Technology. we do lot of programmings and heavy projects so i can bring it at my school. but the disadvantage laptop is very sensitive. but i can take care of it.. and laptops are more expensive than desktops.

i prefer using a laptop because it's convenient and i can bring it everywhere i go. i can also use it for school works, etc. aside from that, my brother won't even dare to use it because he's not really comfortable in using a laptop when he's playing online games or either just surfing

here are the things to consider in choosing to buy a laptop or a desktop

Price - Generally speaking, you’re going to pay more for a laptop than a comparable desktop computer. Smaller components are more expensive and you will see that reflected in your price. If you utilizes the computer mainly for word processing and internet use, a laptop might be a practical choice. However, video games, video editing and even desktop publishing require additional memory, storage and possibly high-end video and sound cards. Each of these will increase the cost and the weight of the machine.

Portability - Laptops are obviously more portable than desktops, so the more important question is whether or not your family needs portability. If you don’t have a dedicated space in your home for the computer, or if family members will want to use the computer in different rooms, a laptop is an ideal option. If you plan to move the computer infrequently, a desktop is a better buy for your money.

Upgrades/Repair - Although there are some things that can be upgraded/replaced in a laptop, it is just not as easy to keep up-to-date and in good repair as a desktop machine. This may or may not be a concern for your family. As desktop prices come down, it may actually be more cost effective to purchase a new computer, rather than trying to keep an older machine current. That said, if your laptop screen cracks or someone spills juice on the keyboard, it’s much more serious than similar damage on a desktop. If your household has young children, this is certainly something to keep in mind.

Ergonomics - Ergonomics refers to the design of a workspace so that it allows for a comfortable and safe experience for the user. In this case, there are specific attributes a computer workstation should have in order to minimize strain on the eyes, neck/back, wrists/hands, etc. Although it is possible to set a laptop up in such a way to be ergonomically sound, people rarely do so. It would involve, at the very least, an additional keyboard and a stationary workstation, which might defeat the purpose of having a laptop in your home.

Space - Desktop computers are getting smaller and smaller, while laptops get bigger. Still, a laptop will require a smaller footprint in your home. You can even tuck it away when you need more free counter or table space. When free space is at a premium, a laptop is a great option.

As you can see, the choice between a laptop and a desktop is specific to your needs.
