Hi! I have an old desktop PC. It's also a Pentium IV with Windows XP, but I'm getting a new one in March. I think that a laptop is only good if you move around a lot. There's no point in having a laptop always sitting on your desk.

I have four computer for my use. One of them is a antic collection. One is average. And another is with latest configuration. One laptop I have.

But desktops are more user friendly. I like to use desktop when I am at home. But in outdoor laptop is important. So it is used only when I am in outdoor.

I use to prefer a computer, but now I'm so use to laptops that I would make it my first choice. I have a new one I've only had it for3 months and has windows 7, I'm really happy with it.

This is an age old question that doesn't necessarily have a right or worng answer. Both laptop and desktop computers can be better than the other depending on the given situation and the individual needs of the person using each respective machine, but let's go over some of the advantages and disadvantages of each and try and draw some conclusion form this debate.

Obviously a desktop computer is larger than a laptop computer, but does that necessarily mean that it's better? In some ways it does.

Its easier for a desktop computer to have a bigger memory and to hold more RAM than a laptop computer simply because there is more space available for the storage.


myLot reputation of 79/100. novelcai (280)   ranked 174 out of 3,068 in computers  2 years ago

hi there sivaram4office. yeah its an old question and the answer is really depends on the user and really depends on your needs. for now i still choose a desktop computer because thats what i need now and i dont need a computer on the go. well maybe if i have an extra money now that i have a desktop computer i will get also a laptop,, i want a mac laptop computer but i know its really very expensive 5x compare to my destop pc

1 years ago i always use desktop. Then i feel comfortable on that. But now a days i use laptop. Now i feel so comfortable with laptop. I think laptop is batter then desktop. So i prefer laptop always now. I am thinking to buy one new laptop. But the laptop price is higher then desktop.


myLot reputation of 79/100. novelcai (280)   ranked 174 out of 3,068 in computers  2 years ago

hi there dreamnishu.. yeah your right laptop is more expensive than a desktop computer. actually there are some laptop w/ low cost but as far as i know desktop is more friendly user than a laptop and i can buy piece per piece in terms of parts compare to a laptop. now part of my dream is to have a mac laptop :)) happy my lotting

Hi there, my desktop computer has no brand because it is (budget) custom-build. Rather than confining myself to the fixed specification system offered by brands such as Sony, Acer etc, I enlisted the help of my friend and got one low-budget system which can cater to my games and online needs. I prefers desktop to laptop because of the system performance and if I opted for laptop, then that would be if I really need mobility and portability.


myLot reputation of 79/100. novelcai (280)   ranked 174 out of 3,068 in computers  2 years ago

hi there warvial. we have the same desktop computer now. i just both it this month and its also like yours. its an assemble type of computer and im the one who choose what specs depends on my needs. before i have a pentium4 now i have a pentium dual core. its not the top of the line but lot of better compare to my old one. then from my 40G HD i have now 160. my memory from 512 i have 1G now. but what i love most is my monitor from box type i now have an LED monitor 19". ofcourse i want to have a laptop but for now desktop is what i need now.

I have 2 different computers. I have one Acer One Netbook with Windows XP and one Apple iBook G4. Neither of them are brand new the Acer is about one year old and the iBook G4 is about 4 (soon to be 5) years old. Both are running really well! I much prefer a laptop though to a desktop since it's portable and I can take it with me. That said my iBook sort of acts like a desktop as in I never take it anywhere - but instead will take my netbook...


myLot reputation of 79/100. novelcai (280)   ranked 174 out of 3,068 in computers  2 years ago

hi there nyhappenins. if i only have a lot of money i will buy a one desktop computer loaded w/ good parts and i will buy also a mac laptop.... whew!!!!!!!!1 day dreaming..:)) happy mylotting

Hello, laptop works for me. It is convenient to use. Mobility wise its a winner.

And the good thing about it is that you can bring it with you, anywhere you go.Plus you can get connected anywhere and access your own files if you are bringing your own computer. So for me, laptop would be best.


myLot reputation of 79/100. novelcai (280)   ranked 174 out of 3,068 in computers  2 years ago
