If you had to choose between desktop and laptop, which one will you choose?

Let me make a few comparisons between the two. A desktop, of course, is cheaper than a laptop. You can easily upgrade your desktop (RAM, Processor, Graphic Card, etc) while you have to send your laptop to the manufacturer if you wanted to make such upgrades. A laptop is portable, light, and it doesn't takes up a lot of space. That means if you preferred portability, laptop is your choice.

For a student like me, I preferred a laptop. However, a laptop is quite expensive and I couldn't afford it. Well, have to save money for that. So, how about you?

I use desktops because they seem to be more dependable and less amount of problems.. And specs can be normally higher

I like desktops because they are nice and they don't really have many problems. Desktops can easy install hardware and laptops do not. Laptops are good for travelling, but I don't travel much.

I have best quality panasonic japanese laptop

i prefere desktop more than laptop, because desktop is faster for work, desktop is professional things to do anywork if your whole heart, in laptop you can't do work faster and with all attention.

Well, I know laptops are portable, but I still prefer desktop ones because they are used to be powreful, it's easy to add more features to them and it's easier to write on a desktop computer than on a laptop.

I currently have a desktop, in which i built myself. I was fed up with the pre made computers in this area not having the specifications i wanted so i built it, and they are easier to upgrade but if i could now i would buy a laptop becuase they are more portable and i can use my desk to do homework.

I currently have a desktop, however I wouldn't mind having a laptop due to portability... They are much more expensive than desktops though, which is why I haven't bought one yet.

If Ihad to choose what i wanted i would say laptop. i mean its like a desktop, but you can take it anywhere. the only bad part is not having as much space, however i do not use my computer for space.

so laptop is the best
