Desktop or Laptop?

I would want a laptop to be able to take it outside with me on warm and sunny days. This way I could enjoy the outdoors and have my internet fix at the same time!

My personal preference is for the desktop. I say this because I live out in the stiX and can only have Dial up service for Internet (woe is me) so there is no sense in having a laptop when I only use my computer at home.

I agree that laptops might be more convenient, and the beauty of them is that you can take them anywhere, but for the money they cost you actually get less...most laptops just don't have the same memory/Ram capabilities...Of course if you actually don't need all that much memory/Ram no problem..but what about all the "Stuff" you currently have in your present computer...would it be able to store all that info in a laptop? So I don't know...I'd personally stick with a desktop

I guess it is just which ever one you want the most. We have both. My husband likes to get the laptop in the evening and sit in front of the TV with is glass of ice tea and play poker (not for real money thank goodness) hahaha I like the laptop on a pretty day or even a nice evening to take on the patio. I also like my desktop because it has the bigger monitor and I don't always have to use my glasses on it. I know I wasn't any help to you but that is why I like both of mine.

My desktop is still pretty good! I will be looking into getting a lap top within the next few months, so that I can do things on it away from home. Especially since I am not home that much these days!

Don't buy a desktop whatever you do. I thought I would buy one so my son could use it too without me worrying about it being ruined since I could replace things like the keyboard easily, etc. But I hated it. My husband got me a new lap top for my birthday and i LOVE it!!! It is an acer aspire 4720z...it has webcam, 1 gb ram, pentium 1.46 ghz dual core processor...160 GB harddrive!!! Wireless card and that's just the beginning. i love this bugger, and it only cost him about $520 to get it after tax. it also has windows vista premium. The extra $200-$300 is worth it. I should add we considered everything...dell, hp, sony, gateway, etc, etc...i love the acer!!!

$300 only? i think it more that but its not a big problem,, you can sell your desktop and add extra bucks to buy your laptop,,,

I would rather choose a desktop rather than laptop if we consider the price, because laptop is more costly rather than desktop. But if you consider a small and handy, it is laptop. Easy to handle and easy to use everywhere.

There's a laptop who's the smalles of the world.It's from asus and i think the price in america is 340 dollars.It's made in taiwan and in holland they ran out very fast because here a lot of people bought it. I've added a picture.Maybe that's the one for you and not expensive.Good luck in finf your laptop or pc.

I have both and I prefer the desk top. I do not like using the flat keyboard on the lap top. I also do not like it when I accidently run my thumbs over the window in the middle where you tap if you do not use the mouse it moves the whole page. None of that happens on the desk top.

I have a desktop and between my boyfriend and I we own three laptops. I definitely prefer the laptop. Yeah it may me more than a desktop but for me I don't even look at desktops anymore so the price for me has nothing to do with it. There are some laptops you can get for about $500. I like the convenience of a laptop more than a desktop. I can take the laptop with me anywhere and that's the biggest benefit to me.

Laptop is definitely the way to go. For me, it makes sense because I spend numerous days on the road for business. But even at home or in the office I rarely use my desktops anymore. At home, I can use it no matter what room I am in. I'm an outdoor person and use it frequently while sitting on the deck or even out by the pool.....Well, not so much this time of the year...A bit chilly to be sitting poolside right now....LOL BTW, my 12 year old son has practically taken over my desktop since I quit using it because it is faster than his computer and can handle the newer games better than his. The laptop I have is fairly inexpensive but will run those same games even better than my desktop.......

i have the same situation of yours last year and i end up picking a laptop, coz i always travel and now the price of laptop is getting cheaper. here's some comparison; Laptop: -mobility, easy to carry -cool!! -do not need a big space or computer table -can upgrade memory, video card and harddrive Desktop; -for gamers -much cheaper -upgradeable all -for house only

i would rather choose laptop bec. it is portable and is available and usable always wherever u r....but desktop also is important bec. it has a lot of functions that a desktop dont have....
