I like my laptop because I can take it to shows and enter orders directly into P3. I can also surf here while I'm watching TV (non-productive multi-tasking!).
But, a desktop is better for you ergonomically, unless you also have a separate keyboard for your laptop (and set the laptop on a table instead of your lap). My desktop has a larger screen, so it's easier to use for some applications.

Hmmm, much to debate still.
RAM and memory are the same thing. RAM is like the computer's short-term memory. When you run a program, it's loaded into the computer's RAM. The more RAM you have, the more programs you can have running at once, or the bigger the files you can process (in case you want to write the great American novel in Word).micocina said:Thanks for all of the feedback!
Now... for the confusing details... RAM?... Processor?... Memory?... Speed?... Gigabyte?...
WHAT DO ALL OF THESE NUMBERS REALLY MEAN?!!!
Vicks said:If possible, I'd say both. With a desktop, you can usually put so much more on it, than a laptop. They are more durable and sturdy and if something goes out, it's fairly easy to replace (unlike my laptop screen that has crystals broken in the bottom corner of the screen, which is not fixable, unless I want to take it in and get a whole new screen $$$). Also, laptops get real HOT! Be careful when they are on your lap and nothing is near the fan, you CAN get burned! I have a cooling mat under mine, but it still gets pretty hot.
The main difference between a desktop and a laptop is their portability. A desktop is a stationary computer that typically sits on a desk and is not meant to be moved around, while a laptop is a portable computer that can be taken with you on-the-go. In terms of performance, desktops generally have more powerful processors and can handle more complex tasks, while laptops are more compact and have limited processing power.
One of the main pros of using a desktop is its power and performance. Desktops usually have more powerful processors and can handle more complex tasks such as gaming or video editing. They also have more storage space and can be easily upgraded. However, the main con of using a desktop is its lack of portability. They are not convenient for people who need to work on-the-go or have limited desk space.
The main advantage of using a laptop is its portability. Laptops are lightweight and can be taken anywhere, making them ideal for people who need to work on-the-go. They also have built-in batteries, so they can be used without being plugged in. However, laptops usually have less powerful processors and limited storage space compared to desktops. They are also more prone to damage due to their portability.
Yes, a laptop can replace a desktop in most cases. With advancements in technology, laptops are becoming more powerful and can handle most tasks that were once only possible on a desktop. However, if you need high-performance computing for tasks such as gaming or video editing, a desktop may still be the better option.
When deciding between a laptop or desktop, consider your needs and usage. If you need a powerful computer for tasks such as gaming or video editing, a desktop may be the better option. If you need to work on-the-go or have limited space, a laptop may be a better choice. Also, consider your budget as desktops generally cost less than laptops with similar specifications.
