Default Laptop or Desktop?

what do you prefer? assume you can't afford only one, what would that be, i would personally choose the desktop , the laptop is very nice and joyful to use but when i need to work i certainly can't work good at a laptop , so i would take the desktop , but i prefer having both , right now i work in the day an part of it and then i write on forums chat and etc on my laptop , in bed.

I myself would prefer a laptop, because of ease of movement, especially if I am free to work from anywhere.

I would also prefer a laptop, to a desktop, due to ease of movement, and also some capabilities that comes with the laptops, unlike for desktops, where you got to add them, like the bluetooth and also wireless cards.

I prefer desktops to laptops, because of the ease of changing components, and some hardware, in case of failure.

I prefer laptops to desktops, because of the space desktops take on your desk, compared to laptops. Laptops are the best for me

It will all depend on how you use your computer, and where, because they are both good, for office or home use.

A major difference between laptops, and desktops is in how much hard drive space they offer. Laptops use physically smaller drives, which can only offer so much storage space.

Laptop graphics have come a long way, but i'd still say only 50% have really sufficient graphics processor.

In some cases, it is impossible to upgrade a laptop: for example, you can pop in a new hard drive later, but adding a second had drive means plugging in an external disk that will be cumbersome to tote around with you.

When you are in your office, you can always plug in an extra mouse, keyboard, and monitor to your laptop, adding more peripherals.
