II prefer my laptop. I can move it around easier so I can always be on the go. I always AM on the go.

I could never be happy with a desktop honestly.

Well, it depends what you want to do with it. I personally own both a desktop and a laptop. Laptops generally tend to be cheaper then desktops, and are preferred for convenience. However, if you're looking for speed and for a good gaming computer, I would go for a desktop. That said, there are the exceptions, as there are such things as gaming laptops produced, which would preform like a desktop, and visa versa.

I generally go onto Vizzed with my laptop, and therefore I am using it more and more. When it comes to playing games, I use my desktop.

Hopefully this helps.

I love portable gaming systems. I always have. That being said, I don't share the same love for laptops. I use laptops quite a bit and yet I still don't like them. I can't get used to the keyboard and that substitute for a mouse. Besides, a desktop (performance-wise) can always be better than a laptop. Not to mention, why do you need to go everywhere with it anyway? I mean it sounds nice to take your computer with you everywhere, but I know that if I did that, I would be even more lazy and glued to the screen. Despite my bias, I'd take the cheaper route if I were you (in my case, both my laptop and desktop were free lol; I still prefer the desktop though since it's much faster).

I'd prefer a laptop simply because it's portable. You can take it anywhere with you...if there's a connection in the surrounding area the internet can be used. Desktops are good only for the mouse...but a mouse could be connected to a laptop if wanted.

I really prefer my laptop. It's more portable (obviously) which makes it more convenient. It also makes it more mine because it doesn't stay in a general spot where anyone can use it.

ronaldo7 : It honestly depends on your situation. Do you need a computer for work or school? If so you should consider a laptop.

Generally though with a laptop it's going to have these cons:
-More expensive
-Less powerful than a desktop that you spent the same amount of money on generally
-Limitations of upgrades (it may only hold 4 GB of RAM and not be able to use a good graphics card.
-Smaller screen size unless you dock it to a monitor.

The only advantage you really get is portability. If you need portability then a laptop is your best choice. If you don't need it then I'd strongly lean toward a desktop.

It also depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to have a portable machine for simple stuff like surfing the net and documents it may be worth getting a decent desktop and a netbook.

I'd say a desktop computer is better. Sure, the laptop is portable, but you can do a lot more with a desktop than with a laptop. If you don't need the portability of a laptop, the desktop is the better choice here, but it really is situational with how you'll be using your computer.

Im always on the move with my laptop, and cant stand having my computer in one spot all the time.

It depends, really. Laptops have the same capabilities as desktops if you're willing to spend the money.

Just like many people have already said I love my laptop, but I think that desktops are more able to play video games better. There are some portable desktops though, but you still need AC power. also there are gaming laptops, which can use DC and AC power.
