It depends on your purpose if you buy a laptop means it will be easy to carry everywhere. The desktop also good only why because it will come with a large screen and if you are a player you will love the desktop more than the laptop.

Both desktop computers and laptops are good for which ever work they are meant for but choosing one should be determined by the nature of job it's meant to be used for.

I don't think it would be right to place one above the other, because they both perform similar functions. But there differences in terms of mobility slightly set them apart. If I am forced to choose between the both, I'd definitely go for laptop since I can easily move with it wherever I am going to.

This really depends on your needs. Generally, desktops offer more power, storage, and upgrade options, while laptops are more portable and require less setup. Consider what you plan to use the computer for and how often you will take it from place to place. If you plan to use it primarily in one location, a desktop may be the better choice. If you need to move it around and use it on the go, then a laptop may be the better option.

It depends on your needs and preferences. Desktops offer more power and upgradability, while laptops are more portable and convenient.

One of the first thing you must consider is your budget and how much you have to spend on your new computer. Today, they offer many laptops at a very reasonable price. This is great if you are on a tight budget and can't afford a desktop computer. However, you can find that a desktop is great and you can expand the desktop as your budget increases. You can start off with a good model of a desktop and later on add a new graphics card, more memory, and a few extra hard drives for storage. If you've purchased a lower speed process and your motherboard will accept a higher speed process, you can easily upgrade your processor. I own both the desktop and laptop and find out that I use more my desktop because of the keyboard and larger screen. I like the screen size of a desktop versus a laptop and the keyboard on a desktop is easier to use and type on.

It's upon your purpose. If you are a gamer or designer who use extra graphics cards or high end peripherals a desktop will be nice. For a normal user who is just using his PC for surfing on internet, a laptop is the thing to consider. Should remember that a laptop can be used just like a desktop by connecting an external keyboard and mouse. So if you don't have a specific purpose for a desktop then use a laptop as it is easy to carry where ever you go.

It depends on your uses. The laptop is best if you travel frequently or you like to work in different environments. At the same time, the desktop is better for long duration of work which demands long sitting at one place. Also the alignment of your eyes is in comfortable position with comfortable body posture if working on a desktop.

I prefer Laptop, a well-configured laptop can be used as Desktop by connecting additional keyboard, mouse and wide screen for better view. Need not worry about power failure, you can take this anywhere by disconnecting all additional items.

For me, i choose desktop. Recently , that is my problem because my youngest child will go to school and she will need a pc or laptop for her homework for a research. Since previously i worked at a Servive Center, i know what will be the problem if i buy laptop, although you can carry laptop anywhere you go but still when the time comes that your laptop have a problem the whole laptop will be checked to find the cause of the problem but in desktop it's easy to identify the problem and what parts will be replace/ fix.

I suggest you go for a laptop since its portable, stores charge and you can use anywhere and must not be connected to the power as in the case of a desktop.

The only good thing about a desktop is that its very cheap and might be twice or thrice the laptop price. What I hate desktops is, they fully depend on electricity in that, in case the power goes off then your content might get lost in case you hadn't saved.

I prefer laptop because it is mobile, you can save and continue your work on the go. Such thing is not possible with desktop. Secondly when there is a power failure you need a UPS to continue working on a desktop, meanwhile in a laptop you can continue working.

No one is better than the other. Most of the desktops are designed to take on more load on the graphics and the RAM side. And there is nothing that can stop it. But the laptop is kind of limied on the expansion side like limited display which can be extended but unlike desktop the default is fixed. So each platform has it's pros and cons and you can work with that around as much as possible.

I have both and I love my desktop because I am so quick at typing on it but if you want to take your computer around with you then a laptop is best. If you only intend to work at home then a desktop is perfect but if you need to use it for work in various places you should choose a laptop.

For me, if you are going to work online and spend more hours using the Internet, it is best to have a desktop. It depends on how do you need a particular device. Take an example of me, I have been teaching online. My laptop was not able to sustain its durability for long hours of teaching every day. Thus, I prefer to use a desktop instead.

Well desktop are better. Due to this reason which say desktop with similar parts as a laptop works faster and smoother. That's because desktops usually come with full-size parts that are often more powerful than the similar counterparts designed for laptops.

Both desktop and Laptops are best to work in various situations. In some times desktop is better than laptop. In some times laptop is better than desktop. However both the desktop and laptop is important to work in our regular life cycle.

Laptop is better than a desktop since it's more portable since you can carry it wherever you go. It comes in various sizes and currently you can have one that is small enough to fit in a medium size purse or bag.

Laptop is probably a better option , you can carry it wherever you want , also all the components are already there in the laptop  , the speaker , the monitor , the keyboard , whereas if you are building a desktop you need to purchase them all separately

For me it's laptop. I travel a lot and need something to use when I'm on a trip. I can also use it for a business when it's held outdoors. 

Although desktop has better durability, laptop is better for me even in device upgrades

The general division between computing devices is still based on where you use it: Laptops suit on-the-go users. They combine hours of battery life with the performance and responsiveness to power immersive experiences that keep you productive wherever you go. Desktops are ideal for power users.
