Desktop vs Laptop


Recommended Posts

I honestly prefer the Desktop. My husband uses the Laptop for his own use but he doesn’t get on the computer too much. What’s to like? The Desktop has a bigger screen, it’s on a desk (lol) so it’s easier on the body where you aren’t just slouching on the couch or bed. I can’t imagine using that small keyboard to type. I use an ergonomic keyboard & mouse otherwise my wrists will be hurting. Same too with a tiny cell phone.

What do you prefer & why?

I use both a desktop and a laptop but the laptop I have at the moment is almost 9 years old, only runs Linux now and the keyboard isn't working the greatest making it difficult to type. Due to that I use my desktop more so now than I used to but would love to get a new laptop if I was ever given the chance.

For most people’s needs, having a laptop hooked up to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse wouldn’t feel that different compared to a desktop. If you couldn’t see the computer, would you even notice?

If you’re mobile and need to take your laptop places, you get the added benefit of taking your computer places.

I say this as a desktop user, but when I was more mobile, the laptop hooked up to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse didn’t hamper any experience.

IAs someone who does the same thing, I'd say the only difference really is a few cosmetics and a bit worse cost vs performance.

I did say if you couldn't see the computer, would you really notice? If this stuff is under your desk, all you see is the mouse/keyboard and the monitor. The cosmetics part is pointless if the computer is hidden away, and the cost vs performance is easily ignored if it doesn't affect functionality.

That is true.  If you hide it all completely away then I doubt most users would ever be able to tell the difference.  At least until they had to power it on.

Let’s be honest, outside of power users, the average person isn’t going to notice anything. Office products and internet browsing is the most they do. There’s a certain spec bump where that stuff reaches a limit.

If I'm stuck at home, my first choice is always going to be using a desktop because it's specs is always better than that of a laptop. But unfortunately, it's impossible to move about with a desktop which is why my laptop plays a big role. It's what I use more often.
