This is an age old query that doesn't necessarily have a right or wrong answer. Both laptop and desktop computers can be best than the other depending on the given situation and the private needs of the person using each respective machine, but let's go over some of the advantages and disadvantages of each and try and draw some conclusion from this debate.
What do you get with a desktop computer?
Obviously a desktop computer is larger than a laptop computer, but does that necessarily mean that it's better? In some ways it does.
It's easier for a desktop computer to have a bigger memory and to hold more Ram than a laptop computer naturally because there is more space ready for the storage.
The space in a desktop computer will often allow the user to choose practically unlimited accessories and options that a laptop computer just may not have the space to hold. Things like a top speed processor, the newest state of the art sound and graphics cards, extra ports for external linking and more than sufficient warehouse space for all of the programs, music and video clips that you'll ever need.
The extra space also comes with one more big advantage that you don't often find with a laptop - the quality to absolutely upgrade. This means that you can keep your machine from becoming obsolete for much longer by continually adding the newest programs, components and accessories.
The advantages of the laptop computer
The one glaring advantage a laptop computer holds over its desktop counter part is portability. If you have a job that requires you to travel, or if you're a pupil living in a closet sized dormitory with three others students, a laptop computer is practically a necessity. No matter how mighty or fast your desktop computer is, you can't unplug it, take it to the subway and conclude writing your description while you travel.
Despite the coarse misconception that all desktop computers are more mighty than all laptops, the laptop computers of today have much best technology in them than the laptops of yesterday. You will pay more for a evening meal mighty laptop than you will for the same caliber desktop, but then again, the lower price of the desktop won't help you on the go.
So, how do you choose?
I think the above illustrations tell you that both types of computer can be the best, depending on situation. The key isn't between selecting one over the other, it's in selecting the best computer of the type that you choose.
You need to get online and do some research on the separate brands of computers to find what the best and most dependable machines are. There are a slew of separate manufacturers producing computers today, you need to find which maker is producing the best reviewed computers of the type that you have thought about that you need and base your decision on those facts.
Buying a computer from a reputable and dependable maker will ensure that you get a high quality machine. This is a piece of equipment that will be a big part of your life, hopefully, for years to come; you shouldn't look to get the cheapest price if it will mean that you are sacrificing quality. Never spend your hard earned money on a machine that has gotten a host of unfavorable reviews, or on a machine that you've never heard of.
You may end up paying a wee bit more for a Samsung or Dell computers than you would for a lesser known brand, but with a Samsung or Dell you will know that you are getting a top quality computer that will last - with a lesser known brand, you never know what you'll get.
