Is buying desktop more practical than laptop?

yeah laptop is way better. atleast you can bring it anywhere and it consumes less electricity.

Well, after 2 weeks, you might have read some good comments and my comment is probably not too much different than any. In general, laptop is not necessarily better than desktop. Yes, you can bring laptop anywhere with you. It all depends on your computing needs. Do you write a lot? Do you play games? Do you watch movies? Those are some questions to consider. Some people are hardcore gamers, while some play every now and then. It also comes down to your spending capacity as well. You could purchase both if you have the spending power.

if you need to feel comfortable i think desktop is better but if you need bring your pc on the go laptop is a must...it is difficult sometimes choosing betwee desktop or laptop but the normal thought should be this bcause laptop was created for mobility if you needn't porbably desktop is better...even for the price..

If you primarily just use it to access the internet, a laptop is the best way to go. A desktop has it's advantages for certain things and I have one but the computer I use most of the time is my laptop. It's just a lot more convenient and easy to use anywhere I want. Plus, laptops nowadays have more than enough power and speed for most applications and at very reasonable prices. I think in the not to distant future, desktop computers will wane in popularity as people increase their usage of laptops and other mobile devices such as smart phones, Ipads and Android tablets. For the average computer user, a laptop will be all the computer they need.

I personally prefer laptop than PC because its taking less space and I can bring it anywhere I want to. What I don't like about laptop is their self life, my last laptop last only 3 years but my old PC still running. When its come to give service to your laptop when it not running its usually more costly than PC.

I think it is better to buy a laptop than buying a desktop. The price of a laptop is much increased now and the Christmas days are coming now and you will have some special discounts for this Christmas. SO I think you can buy a laptop in this Christmas season itself.

I have had both but I can say that my next computer is going to be a laptop again. Just for the fact that you can use it and be comfortable sitting on your couch or in bed, but you can take it with you wherever you go. I have taken my laptop with me when I go on a road trip so that I can have internet access when I stay at a hotel overnight. Then I can do some myLotting or check email, etc. So, I would say it makes more sense to get a laptop versus a regular desk top computer; at least in my personal situation. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

It depends on what you're going to use it for. If you're into gaming, then you'll need a lot of memory. If you just use your laptop for surfing and stuff like that, and you like to be able to take your computer with you, then get another laptop. I'm going to get another desktop because my current memory isn't enough, I need at least eight gigs of memory for the game I like to play, The Sims 3.

I like my laptop because I am able to move to any room in the house with my computer, but, I am normally more productive when I have a desktop. It is a big change for me not to have a desktop to use when I really need to focus on the computer, but I am getting more used to it. I think that economically, a laptop is the better choice because it uses a lot less enrgy. The fact that it takes up very little space is nice too. You can simply put it away when you aren't using it and it doesn't have to sit their, out in the open. Yes, I think that between price, portability, and ease of use, a laptop is probably the better choice.

It really depends on your line of work. If you travel a lot, or you rather go out and work your projects or you have to done your work at library, the best option is have something mobile, like your laptop. For me, I done my work mostly at home, so I have desktop, although I have laptop computer myself too, I keep both balance. Budget is your primary consideration, so, make it your best option.

I have a netbook. And I have the optional CD/DVD player. I had a regular laptop but gave it to my son so now I got a 10 inch dell netbook. I like it cause you are limited as to the tablets and it folds like a regular laptop so I don't have to worry about my computer getting scratched carrying it around. I would say I spend 75 percent of my computer time on my net book. When I am working on Ebay I then use the desk top as it has the printer attached to it. I guess its really what you plan to do with the computer. If you want to work on it some companies won't let you work on a laptop. If its just for fun mostly then I say a laptop. I like that its portable and if I go out to a cafe, I can use free wifi to do things on my laptop. Have a nice day and Happy Mylotting!

Hello Bulastika, I bought desktop few months ago but i repent for it that why i did not buy a laptop because laptop is more handy and you can carry it to anywhere you go unlike desktop for which you have to sit at one place. Moreover it has covered lot of space in my house. I would suggest you to buy a laptop as there is not much difference in the prices these days.

For me, I suggest you just buy a laptop. Nowadays, the price of an Intel i7 laptop is almost the same as that of an Intel i7 desktop. The only reason today for buying a desktop is that, you can upgrade most of its hardware, unlike a laptop.

There are certain things you need to consider... First of all,I think that would depend on how will you be using the computer. If you are not a gamer and likes to just browse the Internet and just typed in some documents and stuff a laptop would be handy. However, if are a power user, a gamer and a techie guy that likes to upgrade and do some stuff such is upgrading and adding some hardware on the tower I would recommend a desktop or this type of user usually goes for a desktop. Second thing is the budget, although I guess there are brand of laptops that would almost the same price and speed compared to a desktop, because before the reason I bought my first desktop is the budget, since I know the in and out of a computer and I know I can get a better deal with a desktop rather than a laptop. But it would still be your choice there are advantages and disadvantages in buying a desktop or a laptop. A desktop has no mobility compared to a laptop, but a laptop cannot be upgraded and customized compared to desktop. I am sure you would agree on that, correct?

I have to admit I Am from the old school so to say...but I have to admit I would love to have a lap top...and I Am considering one...but at the same time I love my PC. I have a place where I can come and sit do my work and not be disturbed by any one! I guess every thing changes and we should change accordingly.

It depends on your usage. If it's just surfing, business and small games, then a laptop is advisable. But if you plan to play many big (games which require big specs) games, install programs for business which also requires bigger capacity storage, I think the desktop will be the best option.

Contrary to your opinion, the desktop is getting MORE expensive because they are being phased out. I personally love my desktop over my laptop and when my desktop crashed, I went to a reliable source to purchase a reworked desktop. It cost very little and works like a charm. This will be my place to buy desktops as long as possible. If you like new only, go for the laptop. The prices are dropping. Good luck.

Of course, the laptop will be more convenient which can be carried along. About the maintenance cost, the laptop will be more expensive than the desktop. Only certain model of the battery, charger, keypad and so on can be used for certain brand and model of the laptop. As such, the cost of the maintenance will be higher by comparing to desktop. Due to the need in my daily life, I shall select the laptop because it can be carried along easily when I am traveling.

Hello there! Buying desktop or laptop depends on your usage. Buy yourself another laptop if you need to bring it with you always. Nut if I were to be ask, I would still prefer desktop. Well, this is because I had an experience with laptop recently. Our laptop's videocard had some problem and he told us that we need to buy the whole motherboard. I think laptop are non repairable per part unlike the desktop that you can buy the parts piece by piece.

Well it depend on the specifications you want and the price you can afford. As we know that the better the specifications are the the more expensive it gets. A high specs computer would be cheaper in price than a high specs laptop, with same price we can get a better specs computer than a laptop. But we can't bring our computer to anywhere as easily as laptop. So i guess if you dont really need a high specs computer or you want high specs and you can afford it then i suggest buy laptop. But if you want a high specs computer with low price then it is better to choose computer.
