I have a laptop. It is nice because I can sit in bed and be on the computer. I don't have to be at a desk all the time. That is what I do at work... Don't want to do that at home.

I love having a laptop to take places and stuff, but they don't seem as reliable as desktops. There are a lot of little things that can go wrong, and then are much more expensive to fix, or the whole unit is junk because one thing broke. If its going to be your only computer, I say desktop. Then save up, get a laptop and a wireless router. That's fun. I can cook supper and surf at the same time! (well not right now because my laptop refuses to turn on for unknown reasons... hence my opinion on this topic)

I own a desktop. At times I wish I had a laptop. I think it would be much better if you could spend the same amount of money on a laptop as you do a desktop and got the same specs.

I have a desktop and i m not going for a laptop.
I think desktops are just faster all around. Faster CPUs, much faster graphics cards, faster memory buses, faster hard drives, etc. and you get the point.
Pricewise, there's no contest either, although things are getting closer every year, particularly with the last couple of years as growth of CPU speeds on the desktop has slowed quite a bit. Still, for the same price as a base laptop with decent CPU and memory (512MB is minimum that should be deployed to any system in an organization these days) you can get a much faster desktop AND 19" LCD screen, plus external keyboard and mouse.
I think its upto you what you need portability or hi-end computing.

Definitely a desktop. It´s cheaper to customise and upgrade. Extra memory and other parts are expensive when you have a laptop. Perhaps laptop looks cooler and you can carry it easier than desktop but is also more expensive.
