Desktop Computers VS Laptops

Which do you prefer, Desktop computers or laptops? Both certainly have their pros and cons! Desktops are known to be more powerful and laptops are more portable and as a result it can be used virtually anywhere One of the biggest disadvantage with laptops is that their battery life limits you to how long you can actually work on it without plugging it in. Now with a desktop you’ll never have that problem but then again if the power goes out then it’s back to pen and paper whereas if you used a laptop you can use it for an amount of time until it eventually runs out of power.

Even though the laptop has gained ground in how powerful they are in performance with multi-core processor technology – they still don’t match the performance of desktop PC’s. Desktop Computers has more space which means it can host more components. This means it is easier to upgrade than a laptop which has limited space for new components. This results in to that a laptop’s life is shorter than that of a Desktop Computer because it’s limited capability to upgrade.

Many people prefer to use a laptop, because they can sit in front of the television or anywhere else and play their favourite game or get some work done but then again some people prefer a desktop because it is easier to type on and usually has a bigger screen and it’s better for gaming because of its enhanced performance.

I guess it depends on your goals/what you want to do with your machine. Personally I have both a desktop and a laptop and to be honest I prefer my desktop computer specifically for programming and my laptop for all my other requirements.

Whichever you prefer I believe there will always be a place for Desktop Computers. Laptops will keep improving as powerful components get smaller and smaller.
