I have a desktop. I was thinking about getting a laptop instead of my desktop though. But i stuck to the desktop. I dont know why but i dont really like laptops that much for some reason. They seem a lot slower to me.

I have 3 laptops but i would much prefer a desktop to atleast 2 of those if not all 3. First of all, it is nice taking my small and light laptop to class and on trips but it isnt much easier than a notebook since some classes like math ones you cant take notes on a pc. The reason a desktop is better is that not only are they more reliable but you can upgrade consistently with them. This allows them to end up being much cheaper than a desktop and much more versitale. The reason upgrade is important is if you play any games, after about 2 years you laptop can not really perform well enough to play anything new currently. There is hope since they are releasing external video cards sometime this year but in the end a desktop will still be better. The only time a laptop would be prefered is if you are a businessman who travels alot then you need a laptop. Besides that, there is no reason not to get a desktop.

I have both a desktop and a laptop. Neither of them are perfect and each has their palace in the overall scope of things. I use the laptop (Compaq) when I am not at home and the desktop for my Internet browsing. (an iMac) I find the risk of the virii on the Internet to have been a problem, so arranged for the iMac from a friend to avoid the problem resulting from downloading virii and trojans, etc. And an external disk for transferring stuff between them. Works for me.

A laptop is the better half here desktops are more for home use they can not be used for those business people who have to travel if they have all there files they have to save it on a jump drive. I got a laptop and it is more easy to use and for those long trips. Only flaw about laptops is battery life.

I have a desktop and I just love it, for some reason I don't really like laptops, here we aren't allowed any sort of technology in school but even if we were allowed, my cell phone works just fine for that, even when it comes to browsing the internet, just buy a Bluetooth keyboard attachment and you can use it while travelling and stuff. Desktops are my preference as you can constantly upgrade them and modify them according to your tastes like stickers and stuff.

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.

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'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 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
