Desktop or Laptop

[zekramcross]

Which do u choose?

 

[Prof Kerfuffle]

Desktop definitely just generally more powerful and more comfortable.

I'm more comfortable with a desktop, and like it better, but I loved my laptop until it pooped itself to death.

Desktop because it can be easily built/upgraded/maintained and have a choice of using different size/brand Monitor or TV

I prefer desktops. They are much faster, quicker hard drives and far more upgradable. While I like having a laptop around, you pretty much have to buy those retail so you don't have much ability to really customize them. So, while I own a laptop....it's just another computer. My Desktop on the other hand is my creation and it's exactly what I want.

I prefer both and use them daily, weekly, monthly and year around. Hope you can add "both" to your poll. GL

Another vote for a "both" category in the poll.

Should be a choice to choose both as the have very different piratical applications.
I prefer my Desktop but can't take it with me on a plane or anywhere else I would go and want to use a computer.
I'm aware you can use a smart phone although I don't own one but.

last year I snuck out of California and went to Texas to help my brother get his construction business setup after Hurricane Ike.

This included all his office computers and he designed a stand for his laptop to be installed in his truck to sit his laptop on and by using a converter plugged into his lighter socket I showed him how he could use it to get into the office systems using Go to my PC and a Verizon air card to actually create estimates.
Since the converter had 2 plug in sockets and a cooling fan he could also hook up a small printer and print out documents that either he created or where created at the office.

But definitely the Desktop as I often find myself frustrated waiting for the laptop to boot up or load pages, the one I have (old HP DV4000) and even my Mom's Gateway with Vista are just to slow for my taste.

I'm a laptop user, but that's mainly because of a lack of space + need for portability...

iPad?

 

[Trucidation]

Desktop sheer raw power just can't be beat, but I've come to love being able to lug laptops around, even if I do end up having them plugged in all the time.

 

[Pusspa]

i am a laptop man, woo hoo...

Laptop, because it is portable. And when I ever need a big screen or additional drive etc, I just connect it via USB or HDMI (dual monitors connected.)

Desktops are more powerful, laptops have a short lifespan and cannot be upgraded as PCs

 

[Kirsch]

Desktops are more powerful, laptops have a shot lifespan and cannot be upgraded as PCs

Firstly, I am a desktop user, so I am not "defending" laptops

But laptops can absolutely be upgraded! Just takes a little more work. We upgrade specs all the time in our older laptops here at work. And no, not just the RAM either

 

[Hopalong X]

Desk top.

I don't need portability.

Most laptops are limited to RAM and CPU upgrades

 

[Fayla]

The life span of a computer all depends on how the owner maintains the aforementioned computer

I can take my portable wherever I go.............
