Do laptops replace desktops??? - My take is an emphatic NO..While laptops are convenient and space efficient for mobile computing, the desktops have their undeniable position in the world of computers. Not only the computing power is higher, you fit more gadgets to a desktop as well, as compared to a laptop. The bandwidth you get for your internet usage is abundant and is cheap as compared to your laptop. Wifi or mobile broadband is still in the nascent stages which thus costs you a premium for your laptop. You also get a fixed IP address, which imparts a unique identity to your desktop PC. Besides, you work from the comfort of your living room and a host of other features like hometheater, internet television, cable tv.. you name it, your PC just explodes with life. With LCD monitors getting cheaper and powerful processors turning in a rich multimedia, the desktop will give a run for the money to all those who cast aspersions on its future..
