Desktops or laptops? Which is better?  

Yes I agree with you, the desktop is used by some one who need a big performance and a better speed, performance, and power, but we can't bring it any where. If a laltop we can bring it any where, but the power, speed, and performance are less than the desktop. I think we should have both of them, we use desktop for a big task such as, 3D, rendering video, gaming etc and use laptop to a road trip, bring to school and etc. Both has each plus and negatif points.

The desk top is better because, if something happens to it, you can fix it, now if something happen to the laptop, I don't know if it will be that easy, to fix you may have to put it in the shop, ot but a new on, that is why I say it is better to have a deastop computer., I had a laptop computer, and it kept running hot, the battery was no longer any good.

I like more the desktops,because i can always change parts to fit my needs. And of course,it's cheap than a laptop,imagine if you have to change your cpu or add ram,or simply change the hdd...or add another one :P Connections and parts are faster on a destktop with the same price...if one day i'll want a laptop,i'll buy an EEEpc or something similar :)

I have both, but don't find one better than the other. I love my desktop because of gaming (espically since I upgraded Geforce 6150 LE to Geforce 9600 GT lmao) and I also love my laptop because I like to watch movies in bed and move out of my room to do my computing needs :P I don't like to feel trapped in my room all the time

I only like my desktop a little bit more because its a lot faster. My laptop is a netbook and it's really slow

it depends as to why you're going to have one. for me, since i'm renting a house and not sure if i'm going to work out of town for long, i prefer laptop. but if my job or my hobbies would work better with desktop, it would be okay to buy a home computer then.

If i have money, cause i have already had desktop pc, i want to buy Laptop. Cause it can support and help me whenever in the road or in the field.

hi virsuxtreme24,
Well all the pros and cons of the choices you have discusses already so nothing more i can add. It is really up to a person what he likes unless he has to take his computer with him all the time then there is no choice. I got both but i like to lie on bed and then do internet so i prefer laptop. Other wise the spares of laptop are quite costly as compared to desktop so it can be really a matter of choice, i know my last laptop had problem with key board and i asked my vendor how much would it cost to change he said about 5000/- rs ( about 125$ at that time prevaling rates while a good top most key board and mouse combined ( tvs model best in india) would cost less than 20$)

What kind of computer you need really depends on what you need it for and how portable you need it to be. I know some people who have both so that they can travel and still have access or stay home and work equally as well. I only have a lap top since I travel so much. If I had a place to stay I would like to have a desk top again. But then I would have some stuff on one computer and other stuff on the other and I really like all my stuff in one place. So I don't know!

I will prefer laptop.it is better than desktop in many ways.you can take it to any place and it has inbuilt speakers,web cam and also battery back up.now we can get many configuration same in laptop and desktop but laptop because of its smaller size and ease of transportation is better than desktop.

Desktop is the real machine.It works hard relentlsessly.And nothing like having a laptop as a stand by and for travels.Both are better in their own ways.They save the same purpose on different levels.
