much better???laptops or PC...

i think it deoends on ease of use, situation. i have PC at home which is bought by myself.i have laptop provoded by my company. i use laptop at office and when i have to work from ome as well.

laptop is better.. its handy!

if it's your convenience, you'll get a laptop. if we're talking about is life span get a desktop. my friend told me that it's hard for us to get a parts of laptop, unlike desktop. or sometimes when laptop will get damaged, there's nothing to do about it, all you have to do is to dispose it. a life span of a desktop is 10 yrs or more, but laptop is just 8 years below. or you'll be lucky if the life span of your laptop will reach until 10 years hehehe..

i would go for my laptop coz its very handy. I can bring it to the office and my school and i can bring it everywhere I go..

Hi ehlsie! I think it is much better to own a laptop than a desktop computer. Simply because it is portable. I can bring my laptop anywhere I want to go. I like going to coffee shops and since WiFi is for free, I can browse the Internet, read my emails, and open my friendster account. Another thing is because of comfort. I can just place my laptop on my bed while doing some encoding. It is much more expensive compared to a desktop computer, but it is more useful and convenient for me.

That is indeed a good question. But first you may want to ask yourself how you want to use the machine. If you prefer more raw power and can do that at home, then you may want a Desktop Personal Computer (PC). But if you prefer the convenience of mobility, that is where you can bring along your computer with you anywhere you want to go, then a laptop is probably your best choice. There are more laptops nowadays that can match head on with the raw power of desktop PCs for a higher price. Yet you prefer simplicity and a machine that can do most basic work. There are a lot to choose from with really affordable prices. Happy Posting!

Hi ehlsie, I think this will depend on what you need it for. Both have their pros and cons. Here's an article I found on Associated Content which you might find useful. The source is at http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/763/laptop_vs_pc.html . Regards. --- It's time to sack up and buy a computer. After dreaming about RAM the night before you head over to your local computer store only to be befuddled at the very first question the clerk asks you, "Do you want a laptop or desktop?" Now I trust most of you wouldn't actually go to the store before taking this question into consideration, that's why you are reading this. But the point remains, before you can decide what kind of computer you want (Dell, Mac, Hewlett Packard etc.), you first need to consider whether you want the portability of a laptop or dexterity of a PC. Before I go any further, let me admit my bias by saying I love my laptop. But prior to explaining my choice to go portable (and its infinite wisdom), let's take a look at the downside of laptops and the superior qualities a stationary computer provides. As with all purchasing decisions, there are pros and cons to whatever you choose, and what has worked beautifully for me might not work for others depending on the situation. The Argument Against Laptops Price per computing power is usually the first consideration, in which case a desktop is a much better choice. Laptops are more expensive then their PC counterparts, sometimes twice as much. The reason for this is the design aspect of a laptop. The same components are squeezed into a small space and the price for that convenience is pushed onto the consumer. This design doesn't just affect space for the guts of your computer, but the keyboard and screen too. Typing on a smaller keyboard takes practice. Some people never really feel comfortable and this interferers with their entire computer experience. Also, the screen of a laptop is not as large or high in quality as a desktop. If you want to use your computer to watch DVDs or you're an avid gamer, gazing at a small screen with low response time for long periods can be annoying and even detrimental to your eyes.

I will prefer a pc, because it's alot better, and durble, plus the screen and keyboard, everything is much bigger.. lol =D Other than that, it's abit bulky which is not suitable whose house have space limitations ^_^ But i'm thinking of buying a laptop now, so that i can use it when i'm outside and i need not share the pc at home with my bro.. lol =D

Hi there! When it comes to capacity desktops are much better than laptops. But if you're looking for convenience, then its the laptop that's best to use. I also like using my laptop more than my desktop. Using my laptop I can bring it where I go. I can even type on my bed lying down hehehe. That's what laptops are known for. Convenience. Ciao!

For me it really depends on how often you use your computer. For me if you tend to use the computer a lot to store files, type documents or surf the internet for me a PC would be great. For those who travel a lot a laptop would be really great. Most laptops though as far as I know has shorter life spans than PCs. Also since I know French and Spanish I prefer a PC when it comes to typing documents in that language. I can't do that in a laptop because they lack a numpad. I can't make those letters with accents without using numpad because I'm so used to it.

I love my PC. It is the old style PC which has an old style components, but I have upgraded the CPU, so it works so fast. I have a laptop too, I use it to get things done when I was outside the house. But I just love my PC because it can be upgraded whenever I want to. And it is cheaper to upgrade them than have to upgrade things in my laptop. And it is easy to maintain. If one part is broken, I can only buy the spare part without worrying about the compatibility, because it was custom made. lol. I love my PC!! So I'd go for PC

I have my PC right now,I want to own also a laptop,Trying to find ways to have one.....(LOL)

I have my personal compute, a laptops. I bought it last year, I really like it , as it's very small , and easy to take with me. I take it to office for working, and take it back at home for relax. also I can working at home if have urgent things.

i love my macbook but i wish i had a desktop machine sometimes. I used to own a 24" imac but then moved to a new country, so sold it. Personal preference is definately desktop machine tho.

Desktops and laptops are becoming very close in their capabilities it's a matter of what your primary use is for them. If you're traveling a lot and you need the computer to be accessible to you at all times, a laptop is the only way to go. But a desktop has more going for it in terms of cost, durability, and ease of maintenance. Laptops' biggest advantage is portability it also makes them more vulnerable. They're more likely to be dropped and broken, or lost, or stolen. You can probably store as much data on a laptop as on a desktop, but you probably wouldn't want to risk losing it all. Traditionally, desktops have had zero portability you only could access files located on your desktop computer from that computer. But that's changing; your desktop may stay in one place, but your files don't have to. USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory keys, small devices that plug in to your computer to extract or load data, let you move files from one computer to another quickly and easily. And wireless networks allow you to work on the same files from any other networked computer. Just as Internet capability is no longer a desktop vs. laptop decision point, features and functions are equivalent between the two, although desktops generally have better sound quality. The cost for a laptop is considerably higher than for a desktop with comparable speed and power. Although laptop prices are falling, you'll still pay hundreds of dollars more, Service and repair costs are much higher too. To get at the parts, laptops pretty much have to be taken apart. The parts themselves are more expensive, almost double, and labor costs more. With a desktop, you can just open the back or side panel and replace the parts. Because desktop components can be added or removed separately, unlike many laptops' all-in-one design, desktops can operate without some parts.

ehlsie, I have both a laptop and a destop. I like my desktop better because of the keyboard and the mouse. I use it more than I do my laptop. The laptop however is nice if you want to use it in other rooms or take it other places, it is wireless.It does take up less space.But I hate the mouse on my laptop, so I have bought an external mouse to hoop up to it.

Good day.. I used to have a desktop, CPU with lots of processing power, I use it for games and other applications which demands great resources. Now I use a laptop because of it's power and portability.

I own a laptop and all my family members in my house own their own because it is more convenient especially for school purposes since it is very mobile and not heavy. I love them because they are very compact and you can use it where ever you need.

This is subjective. Personally I prefer a laptop to a PC. Mainly because its very convenient to operate. You can just lie on your couch, sip coffee and mylot comfortably listening to the rain outside. Sitting in front of a PC the whole day can be a pain. But dont just buy a laptop just because you see someone use it. Buy if its really necessary now that you have a PC.

I really like my laptop. It doesn't take up as much space, and is easier to take with me. Admittedly, it is easier to take information with you now with a desktop with really cheap flash drives and other things like that, but I just like mine. It has enough power to do what I need, and it was pretty cheap for me.
