I will suggest you to go for a laptop. Even I was in the same condition 2 years before. But I bought a desktop since I was doing my graduation then and I was in home. But after graduation only I understood its difficulty as now I am working far away from my home. Therefore it would be better if you buy a laptop so that you can use it when you are at home and also when you are travelling.

If you are not traveled frequently the Computer is best than laptop but if you are doing travel frequently then laptop is good. Because we can carry the Computer but can carry the laptop.

i think if you want to user that for gaming then buy a desktop otherwise if you want performance and other things then there is nothing better then the laptops especially notebooks. they are very hand and light weight as well.

Its better if laptop,you can handle it easily,and save electricity,desktop computers are not really complete when you buy,the disadvantage of laptop is when you encounter a hardware problem,its hard to fix and you need to look where to buy the specifications you need,

As some responders have already mentioned, it depends on what you intend to use the computer for. There are distinct advantages with both systems. A laptop is designed to be portable, so it is very useful if you intend to travel because you can simply take it with you. A desktop computer is far cheaper, and has the added advantage of being easy to upgrade or replace a faulty part.
I have both, which naturally serve different ourposes.

More and more people are using laptop nowadays because you can carry it anywhere you wanted. It's so convenient to use and it's portable. Laptop also doesn't occupies a large space like a desktop does. It also consume less electricity. I actually have both laptop and desktop at home, and I use my laptop most of the time. While for the price, desktop will always be cheaper. So good luck on your decision, may you come up with the best one. Good day!

this depends on your budget. If you are on a tight budget try to get desktop since this kind of computers can be upgraded after time. you can also choose the specs that suits your needs. there are lots of budget desktop to choose from. as for the laptop, the more higher the specs are the more expensive. it really depends on your budget and what suited your needs.

Hi,simplyrache.That will depend on what you want to do with the computer. If you just want to use it at home,desktop computer is better.If you just want to do business or project and use it outside with you,you should buy a laptop. So,ask yourself what will you do with it.Good luck.
