Desktop VS Laptop

[william]

Hey guys give your opinion-
A Desktop is more Powerful than Laptop no matter for what purpose it is used.

There is going to be a heated discussion!!!!!

[led_shankar]

???Is this even a matter of debate? It depends on what you need it for.If you need computing on the move, obviously you need laptops; else obviously desktops will be better (As you said, desktops are more powerful).

P.S. - I was not trying to belittle your thread, btw.

Friend i am not saying that desktop is moreful than laptop rather i have put it up as a question. i want your opinion.

[kumarmohit]

See it all depends on specs but on same specs of course LAps will still lag.

don't u think in todays busy scheduled life we need a device which can be used anywhere at anytime to make r work more effecient............ from this point of view i can tell that laptops r much more better than desktop

It depends on Needs, for mobile computing the Laptop beats hands down unless you want to look like a fool carrying a desktop. But for Games and high end operations, the Desktop is the best.

Maine Suna, Baki sabhi kahan hai!

[led_shankar]

lol thanks decon....

[Rollercoaster]

well desktops rule for power work and laptops rule for anytime anywere computing. that is all. there is really no comparision.

But for this threads sake lets say we have a desktop and a laptop of exact same config and same performance. Now which one would you go for?

I would go for Laptop.. becuase it can be kept on a table and become a desktop too

[william]

I think we have enough of the discussion and i have got the answer but still if someone want to give his views then he do so.

[led_shankar]

@rollercoaster: um...not really.....even if they were theoretically as powerful, a desktop has stuff like large screens, possibility of a nice mouse and ergonomic keyboard, many USB/PCI etc. slots....laptops would not have these because they are supposed to be portable.

[esumitkumar]

I think desktop is far better when it comes to gaming and comfort wise ...
laptop is good only when u want compact thing .

[cooldip10]

Definitely Desktop::: i mean where can you get the fastest out of those small laptop parts...

[QwertyManiac]

I'd love to be lazy enough to use a laptop xD

As many of 'em said (like led_shankar , the deconstructionist) it all depends on your NEEDS.
if its laptop you can do more work (coz u can take it anywhere),& if its desktop you can do work only where it is.

well i've got both of 'em, when i'm on the move,(travelling), at that time i can do a lot of work, checking mail, etc,etc & if i'm bored i can play games (Colin McRae 04, F1....).
& when i'm home i can do the work comfortably, & i get to play these games at a higher gfx. settings.

laptop are like sweet ,tender, sexy, gals who in general can't work like powerhouses (desktops) like we men .

Desktop are real machine which can work like anything , laptop gud for frequent traveller but for general way to show purse power

[led_shankar]

^ sexist pig.

@Qwerty: it is lazy to use a laptop? I think it is stupid to use a desktop on a train, for example.

[QwertyManiac]

Yep, if you love your sleep couch you'll like a laptop, I didnt mean its useless and all that, just that I'd love to carry a comp anywhere, esp use it lying on the bed, relaxed

[SolidSnake]

Desktop definitely. Laptop keyboard itni annoying hoti hai ki dimaag kharaab ho jaata hai.

[ravi_9793]

u cant compare laptop and a desktop without making any refrence.
I think both have sm advantage n both have sm disadvantage. It depend on the type of use.

for this, there are separate KEYBOARDS & MOUSE available with a USB cable just for LapTops.

Right now i'm using a IBM travel MOUSE.

Desktop = PowerHouse
Laptop = Style

[william]

I think you rae right but don't u think that we can make laptop as powerful as desktop.

[Kenu]

I use both ... since i have got hardware issues with desktop a lot
I can say .. if you compare Hardware issues .. Laptops are damm more reliable

[william]

ya , you are right.

I think i answered this.

[william]

I don't think so or i don't remeber. by the way leave it.

[mediator]

What de heck. This stupid thread still going on?? Both have their own meaning!

[freshseasons]

Ok we all know both have their Own Uses n all..la la la la but frankly ask me which is better...
Laptop ....Cuz today ones are really so powerful. The mobility which we get is really great. And then those are on par se average more reliable than Desktop. I still havent been able to Mess much around with my Lappy other than some formats.
Infact we can pretty much do with laptop if its powerful what we can do with Desktop. But we cannot take desktop on travelling and watch the movies. Nothing beats the powerpoint presentation from ones own laptop .. ones from memory drives are very restrictive.
And with Phishining and Credit Card frauds having ones own laptop is far better than using PC which we dont know whats running in background.
And hell i had prefer opening Lappy in cafe day or joints which have Wi-fi hotspots.
Really i feel where PC stops laptops takes over from there and moves on....
