Desktop Vs Laptop

Though both are personal computers; desktop and laptops are designed for two different purposes. Desktop as the name suggests is placed over desks. It is not a portable device. It has to have a definite position. The desktop is larger in size and has three different components that combine together to make it complete i.e.: the Monitor, C.P.U, and keyboard. Without one of them the desktop PC is incomplete and useless.
Though in the superficial description of the two, laptops seem to be an all time better option, it is necessary to know they have their own disadvantages too.
Desktops since is complete only with its three components together, implies that they are different. Therefore you can choose each of them separately. Generally the pre determined/ branded desktops do not give the best of each of its components. However here you can choose the best configuration for your desktop yourself and combine them to give you a magnificent end product. In the same way, if there arises any problem with a particular part of the computer, it can be replaced or changed individually. Desktops are better at performance and boast higher capacity than laptops.
Laptops do not offer such wide configuration options to choose from. In newer models, the options for customizing your configuration would be narrower. Though in laptops there are a thousand models to choose from, choice in desktops would always surpass laptop options. In terms of performance and its hardware capacity, you cannot avail a 10,000 rpm hard disk or a 21 inch monitor like you can in desktops.
Desktops have higher expansion options than laptops. The expansion slots in them allow you to add new hardware to the device. Technology in its effort to bring laptops in par with desktops has included PC card slots. However they still lag behind. Most desktop PCs have multiple upgrade options available to them; memory, hard disk and processor upgrades can be easily done at low cost. In contrast, despite improvements, laptops have few upgrade options.
When comparing the prices, desktop computers have always been cheaper than laptops for comparable performance and features.
Though laptops lag behind technologically, they let you take your PC with you. They let you do your work anywhere you carry it along. Be it office, home or while traveling. Even in terms of power consumption laptops are better than desktops. Laptops are best to serve the purpose it is designed for. No matter how advanced desktop computers are each has its own purpose and each serves it best. It is only the incredible urge for better that underestimates laptops.
We would suggest that the computers of reputed brands should be only bought from well known computer store. There you can get a warranty against any manufacturing and material defects, so that you can claim your due when required. Moreover the branded computer store can provide you the best deal in a computer purchase.
