When deciding between purchasing a desktop or a laptop, you'll need to consider a handful of criteria and make a determination that fits your needs the best online.
The advantage of a desktop is that you can upgrade or replace defective parts. Though desktops are large in size and have a separate monitor, repairing a desktop computer is much easier since most of the hardware can be easily purchased off the shelf of any local computer retail store. For most users, opening a laptop to repair a part of it can be difficult and finding a replacement part often requires calling the computer manufacturer or ordering from another online site. Setting up a desktop takes a bit of extra work though. It also requires more space to set up while a laptop takes less space and don't require you to purchase a separate monitor.
On the other hand, laptops are portable. That's a very good reason to buy one. They also use less electricity. Laptops are built to be easy to use like while you travel or work on the go. They were designed to be taken from place to place, carried in a backpack or laptop carrying case. They are great for on-the-go use.
In the end, the final decision depends on what your needs are. Consider how you are going to use the computer and what you need in terms of portability and performance.

I have a desktop. I had a laptop once and did not like it.

I had a desktop but it was already broken. I'm currently using a laptop but I haven't had any problems with it so far.

I have very badly injured shoulders so heavy things are not good for them. I prefer my desktop anyways.

Laptop, when I'm on the move.
Desktop, when I'm home or in the office.

True. The good thing about having a laptop is you can bring it anywhere you want.
