| which is best , actually depends on your needs. Simply put if you need it to be portable then its gotta be lappy otherwise its a desktop. - durability both are the same IF handled properly. only difference is that its easy to replace components in a desktop without help from technitian. - features Again they are the same, if same hardware is used. But extra internal hardware cannot be added later. like TV tuner card,graphics card etc. whatever you want , you have to decide before buying , then buy the model having those fecilities. - power ordinary laptops are designed to use lower power for maintaining battery life. but for similar hardware configurations, the difference will be lesser, more so in case of gaming laptops. - cost For the same cost, you can get a higher configuration in desktop model rather than a laptop. - over all performance Purely depends on the configuration you buy. |

| A desktop if you are not bound to be mobile. Reason : Cost is lesser, you can add hardware, easy to maintain/repair |

Rep Power: 0 | Heck, a laptop tends to spoil even the most disciplined supersages residing in himalayas, use it at your own risk. For once you taste the comfiness of a laptop, I bet you will never return to a desktop. Happened with me :crying: Decided to pass a uber deskie config for an entry level dell precision lappie. |

| Platinum Member | After using a laptop, it is difficult to get back to a desktop. But I using a docking station at work where I have a full size kb, large TFT and mouse. So in a way it feels like a desktop. |

| Senior member | Desktop is more durable than laptop. If you can get a better desktop than its far more powerful than the lappies. The lappies on the other side are mobile, so its like that. I prefer desktop at home. I don use my laptop inside house. I prefer lapt on terrace and whenever i am outside city.

Rep Power: 1 | If there is not cost issue then undoubtedly a laptop is much better then a desktop. Low power consumption Durability is there ( IMB Laptops) More Features Easy to use Mobility You can work for 2-3 hours on battery not possible in case of laptop High speed So the problem is just cost and nothing. |
