hmm wel i have a laptop only. for my school work but when i'm done school i plan to get a desktop because my gaming and stuf takes alot of processor speed, ram and a good grafics card which are very hard to come by on a laptop so i have an almost new (since black friday) compaq laptop which is not good for much gaming but its alright. the only thing that really gets me about this computer is the video card (radeon 200m) it is a piece of crap it can barely run any fps games. and if it does its very slow. and a friend has a old dell with a p4 and it runs most games great. not sure what to do but i want a desktop partly because i can just upgrade the video card rather than just buyin a new comp. i find a desktop better. idk

With laptops you can't go by pure numbers; it's all about chemistry, or maybe a better word is synchronicity. It is possible for a slightly lower spec'ed machine to outperform the other if it's components work well together. There's not much you can do but you can always try upgrading the drivers for graphics card.

I would say it depends for what do you need your machine and that is the main thing.

Also I am currently using laptop but I think to buy new computer and connect several monitor to it that would just be great and by that I could do much more things in better way. I cannot wait it will be just amazing like in some hacker movies

As technology is advancing, i would prefer laptops....they are even compact now.

I've got a laptop and a desktop pc, i prefer desktop pc's since they tend to be faster, have a larger storage capacity and cheaper.
My desktop pc right now is out-of-order since the graphics card on the motherboard is broke, now i have to buy a PCI graphics card in order to get it working again.

I also think it depends on what you need it for. But overall, I would say desktop. You may not be able to move them around as much, but you can do so much more with them. Although, I think both would be useful, for when you need to take your computer some where. Hmm...desktops for me.

I have both a laptop and a desktop computer. I started originally with a desktop shared with a brother and sister but then decided I would buy a laptop of my own I could use at school and what not. I took notes on it and used it for starting computer programming. I also used it while waiting at a library waiting for one of my parents to pick me up. I later on bought a desktop from a friend and upgraded it some so I could play games on it and recently upgraded it once more. I use that mostly for playing online games. After I lost my old laptop I bought another one which although I paid the same for is a lot better than my old one. They got cheaper over the year and a half since my first one. I use this one more for web design and programming and school work as well as to play poker and some games. I can be downstairs with my family and use it. I still bring it to school because it's something to use in spare time especially during exam week.
