Choosing a computer is a very important decision as these days most of us end up spending a major part of our time working on them. Buying a computer can involve making several decisions. One of them could possibly be a choice between a desktop computer and a laptop. This dilemma is not easy to resolve and the final decision should be taken after taking into account many factors.
Desktops and laptops have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is for you to decide your priorities and make a choice depending on your particular needs. The most important feature of laptops is their portability. If you travel often or have to shift places many times even within the same building, then the laptop as a choice is a no-brainer.
On the other hand, if you do not travel or move much, then you should consider various other factors. In case of a desktop computer, you can get the same technology and configuration at a much lesser price. If you want the latest technology and hardware in your computer without putting too much burden on your pocket, then desktop will make better sense for you.
Desktops are more suitable for playing games, 3D graphic designing and other intensive jobs that require powerful hardware support and long durations of continuous work. The laptops usually do not provide good support for such high end applications and if they do, they are usually significantly more expensive. Besides, if you are sitting and working long durations, desktops are more ergonomic in make and would be more comfortable to work on.
Another advantage of deciding in favor of a desktop is that it you can customize its configuration to your needs much easily. In fact, you can choose individual hardware as per your requirement and assemble to make a suitable desktop computer. With laptops, you often get limited to choosing the standard configurations offered by manufacturers.
Similarly, it is easier to replace the components in a desktop when one of them stops functioning than it is in case of a laptop. Replacing parts in a laptop takes much more effort and costs more. You usually need to contact an authorized service support center to change a laptop�s part like its screen. Whereas in case of a desktop, because of its modular make, replacing a part like monitor is much easier and can even be managed by yourself.
On the other hand, a laptop occupies much lesser space and can be carried around. In fact, portability is actually quite important for many of us these days and it can easily swing the balance in favor of a laptop. In addition, laptops are also energy saving and their batteries last longer than desktops�.
In short, you should choose between a laptop and a desktop after close examination of your needs and deliberating upon comparative advantages and disadvantages of both. The most important question that you will have to answer is whether you want better technology and performance or portability, especially if you have a limited budget.
