Why should I buy a Desktop Instead of a Laptop?If you If you don't need a Laptop's portability, a number of factors favor a desktop.
Better price-to-power ratio: you can buy a cheap laptop, and you can buy a cheap desktop, but a cheap desktop has the power of an expensive laptop.
Cheaper ownership costs: because they are made from off-the-shelf components, desktops are cheaper to upgrade and to repair. They're less likely to need repairs, too. No one ever drove away after putting a desktop PC on the roof of their car and forgetting it was there.
Less likely to be stolen: desktops don't disappear during a bathroom break in a cafe or a nap at the airport.
Ergonomically friendlier: you can't have good posture if your keyboard and your monitor are just inches apart, although you can get around this problem by plugging a full keyboard and a mouse into your laptop whenever practical. On the other hand, laptop use less electricity, and you can take them places.
