    Should I purchase laptop or desktop? Why?
    Exclude cost/money as a factor.

    I suggest building your own desktop. That's the very best option because then you learn how the parts work and if something happens where you need to make a replacement it's super easy and a lot cheaper! :)

    That depends upon the reason that you are buying it for what work. :confused:

    Like if it has to be in home only or at a single place then PC is good..
    Or if its gonna travel or you gonna keep travelling than Laptop is better as it will be with you always.

    All depends, It's nice to be able to move a laptop around. If ur really into gaming and want a more powerful machine then u might wna go with a desktop, thats the only reason I could really think of to take the desktop. Myself ide go with a laptop but on the downside the batteries can go ... I got mine a year ago and it used to last several hours, now it lasts about 10 min.

    Depending on your lifestyle, the choice of desktop or laptop can be a difficult some times. In this fast-changing technological world, sometimes you are faced with some difficult choices. But I always go with a desktop.

    Laptops generally have a shorter lifespan than desktops.

    If you want something portable to take along when you're on the move, a laptop is what you should get. Desktops are sweet as well; but only for immobile use. Desktops have better sound and graphic system than laptops.

    It's totally depend on your use and need.

    This day, most people have both. So they can use much power system and their home and yet the other one can be bring whenever you go.

    Do you mainly work at home or travel a lot? If you use a computer mainly at home then a desktop is better. If you use a computer while traveling then you need a laptop though it is awkward to use with its tiny keyboard and mouse.

    "Why do you need a computer? " is the first question to be asked... If you want to purchase a computer for fun like download movies,gaming, you can go for a desktop..Desktop is cool.. It does not matter how long you turn on the computer. For gaming, desktop is the best..
    Coming to laptop, laptop is mobile. You can carry it anywhere you like.. However, you would not want turning it on for 27/7. For official uses, laptop is the best..

    I think you should buy a laptop if you are often on the move only(and if there is a necessity to use it often). Desktop is better, becouse it's more powerful, cheaper, comfortable and safer(laptop is portable, so the chance that it will be demaged/stolen is higher).
