It depends on your usage. If you are a traveling person who wish to or need to do some work with the computer very often then your choice should be laptop. But if you don't have any such need and your system usage is going to be very much in home then you should go for a desktop. Also note that for the same price whatever may it be, the desktop that you get will be much more advanced and faster than the laptop of the same price. So if you have usage in mobility of your system then get a laptop or else get a desktop.

I have both and I use my laptop far more than my desktop.....even at home. Though they have a higher pricetag, I think that it is a fair tradeoff for convinience and portability. It's nice to be able to carry your laptop around the house and stay connected (granted you have wireless connectivity).

it depends on ur usage...well if u are in the buisness field then i recommend a laptop else desktop would be a good choice... to hav a laptop at home is a waste of money..for the same amount of money u can buy a desktop with an excellent configuration

If I need to buy a computer I prefer a desktop type because have more possibility to change the components to expand the system or to repair. The laptop have the characteristic that you can take this everywhere. After important question it's the price, the desktop is cheaper the laptop with the same performance it's so expensive!

you need them both. if you have to use a computer always at home, then better buy a desktop, cheap, powerful, and could enjoy better performance, especially in multimedia. but if you have to always use a computer on diferrent places, then a laptop is better for you. have fun with your new pc.

there are so many advantages in buying a desktop PC compared to a laptop, but one thing that makes a laptop a must have today is because of its mobility..you can carry it and use it anywhere..I have a desktop PC but I am also planning to buy a laptop so that I can do my work even when im not in my office..

I think you should go with a desktop, or normal computer, whichever you prefer to call it. Because it's more secure, has more capacity and has less flaws. Laptops are great little things to carry around but can get to problems as easily as Dennis, the Menace, you understand? Desktop is the way to go, my friend.

You should get a desktop its easier to use get like the flat screen one though so its not so bulky but they are easier because you can position the keyboard any which way and you have a mouse.... Unless your the type of person who is always on the go and you get the high tech one that has a rolly ball on it to use as a mouse but still over all desktop is better

Desk top is becoming old and out of date, while laptop is more popular than destop, cause it is portable. It also works when powers goes shed out. You can take it anywhere you want. So I will prefer laptop on desktop.

It was depend where and how do you use it. If you want to mobile or you want to use it everywhere you can, you should buy laptop as it was easy to carry. If you want to use it in your home, i think desktop computer is better.

its depend on your work. if you are traveller than you have to buy laptop. and if you will using only from one place than i will say to buy dekstop pc. because in future if there is any hardware prob. in laptop or in dekstop. than dekstop hardware is too cheaper than laptop hardware. but in the end its depend on your usage.
