it really depends on your needs. ask yourself what are you mainly going to use it for? and i suggest you make research. Then just weigh down the cons and pros of both choices. There are advantages and disadvantages with each choice. I wish you good luck in choosing the best for your needs!!

Look beyond the hardware itself and look at what you are going to use it for. Will it only be at home? Would it be handy to have when you are on the go? How will you connect to the Internet? What would you use it for mostly. If you use it mostly at home, more for games than for work, have no real need to take it out then a desktop is best. A laptop can be used just like a desktop and with the right interface can actually be used that way but it may not be the best option for what you want. If you need one for both home and school or work or just about anywhere you may go then a laptop is for you. It use to be that desktops out performed laptops hands down but no more, depending upon what you get. Determine your need and you will know what you must have.

It all depends on the use of the computer. Buying a laptop has a main advantage that you are able to bring it anywhere you like. Advantage of the PC is the upgrades. Means that you have more room for upgrading hardware if ever the need rises.

That depends like what is your requirement? Laptops need little bit extra care then PC's. No doubt that laptop is a better option then PC as it is easy to carry it everywhere u need but if you are at home all the time then PC is a better option.

I you are on the move and do not need any fast processing needs -Get a laptop. If you want 24/7,high end 3d gaming,processing intensive stuff and want unlimited option to upgrade hardware-Get a desktop.

i suggest that you buy a laptop since you can carry it everywhere you go. you can even use it in your bed, inside your car, etc. but upgrade is a bit complicated

If you are going to use that only at your house not looking for mobility go for a PC because they are much faster reliable and is compatible with most of the things while laptops have certain limitations

If you want a PC capable of playing the more powerful games, like Call of Duty 4, get a desktop. If you just want to use it for browsing the internet, instant messaging and the like, get a laptop.
