Laptop or Desktop? It is so hard to choose!!!

I got a quad core, 4gb ram, 500gb HDD desktop for £120. With 22" lcd monitor.
If your prepared to buy 2nd hand you can get some great deals.

Refurbished also.

that sounds great if you buy a desktop buy a dual or quad core 1 GB or more of ram

Reburbished I bought a desktop with 8 GBs of RAM, a 1 GB video card, a amd phenon quad core, with a terabyte of hard drive space. For $400. You can get a good desktop for a very low cost.

that's cheap i have a 2gb 128mb 400gb for $600 that is cheap but mines new but id rather have something like yours though i don't really need that much of all that

Mine is 500gb hdd, 4Gb ram and phenom quadcore for £120.
Add in a videocard £25 and a 1TB external drive £65 and I have a good pc for £210. about 250 euros or $335.

Okay, as of now I am sticking with a PC, no I am still waiting to get one. Maybe in Christmas? Or as soon as the Back-To-School Sale. Either way, I will probably get a cheap one. Like a really bad spec one.

Desktop, they're just more relaxed and just... Well... Better!
So... Yeah ;p
BTW; Long time no see Romulation ;)

I found out that I will get a new PC in Christmas if I do a good job in high school (which just started) MOAN, 3 months until Christmas...

desktop can more powerfull than laptop with price lesser,,, but i use both,,,

Desktop is the absolute of computers. With desktops you can do anyhing. They are extremely easy to upgrade and are quite powerful. Laptops are only for traveling and for college. Now everyone thinks laptops are so awesome but they are not. Most people who have them dont even need them because they are to lazy to get up and go to a desktop. Most kids want laptops because they seem "cool" but in reality they are much weaker and can only handle a few simultanious running program before they crash. I do think in the future laptops and the like will replace most desktops but desktops will most likely still be around for many years to come.

agree with that,,, most people (especially kids and teenagers) use laptop cause they think it's cool,,i don' think that laptop would replace desktop,,,, desktop would always be need,,,

most teens with no idea about PCs get laptops, then buy a new one a year later

Buy desktops for power and serious use. Laptop only as a second computer for when you're traveling or something.

8) if i were u better to choose desktop though you cannot carry Ur desktop every were but I'm pretty sure it's performance will satisfy u, laptop on the other hand is very handy u can use it every and anywhere you like but thing is is you cannot upgrade laptops... my friend is having a problem from installing new software coz it does not meet the system requirements, in fact PC can be upgraded..
hope this post help you.. ;D

King CookieThat's crap because
#1 Netbooks can't do anything because surfing the net, typing documents, basic stuff like that.
#2 Laptops have barely any upgradability at all compared to desktops.
#3 A laptop that has similar specs to a desktop will 99% cost tons more.
#4 Unlike what you said, many people need powerful hardware things they do on a regular basis.Argument destroyed.

Where do assign? XD
You've sayd everything!
My opinion stands for Desktop, they're good, better than Laptop and cheap at same time, y'know I don't see a laptop that can handle a GPU like GTX 460, or even HD5970, Laptop is only good for those that surf in the net, go msn and thing, but if you do use lots of programs, heavy ones, no doubt that desktop is better.
And if Desktop is dyeing, why Nvidia, ATI Radeon, Intel and AMD are aways investing in it the most powerful hardware?
besides can't use laptop as a server, that's ridiculous lol

how about gaming laptops?http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/notebooks/laptop-alienware-m17x/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-alienware-m17x&s=dhs&cs=19&~ck=mnthis one is as powerful (if not more) than most "mid-high end" desktops out there.
Sure, it's expensive as hell, but you get the power of a desktop with the portability of a laptop.

Asus does a gaming laptop that's both cheaper and slightly more powerful than Alienware gear.

You won't get a "true" high-end computer for that much, but it's a close-run thing.
