Laptop or Desktop?

Nowadays lots of people are ditching the old desktop and buying a laptop.  In terms of price, laptops are considerable more expensive than desktops. 

I use my desktop at home and work, and my laptop when I’m on the go. The desktop is more comfortable.  The keyboard is well positioned for my wrists and the screen is at eye level.  Price is also a factor with more and more desktops along with their screens are going for under $500. With a desktop, you also don’t have to worry about bumps and scratches compared to the laptop that can get abused if not careful. 

The flexibilty of a laptop is pretty much the deciding factor.  With many establishments adding Wifi to their environment, laptops now are not only restricted to a home or an office. People are able to surf the internet nowadays while sitting in the park or waiting for a bus. Space is also the biggest sell. Don’t need much room for the laptop as it can sit on any flat surface.  Because of their smaller size, repairs and upgrades will also be more expensive as the labor is more tideous. Also theft is important and all laptop owners should have a lock.

 I actually know quite of few laptop users that keep their laptop docked on a desk all the time. Not a great idea, as you’ll never give a chance for your battery to discharge. Keeping it powered all the time, will shortened the life of the battery. 

So basically the choice of a laptop or desktop really depends on your status – if you’re an adult with a professional lifestyle – then the laptop would be ideal. If you have a family with children then i would go with a desktop. Again everyone’s needs are different, There is no one right answer. However, weigh the pros and cons that should help you come to a solid decision.
