Laptops V. Desktops

I’m offend ask about what laptop to buy in the lobby’s I feel that for most people they’re a waste of money.

The problem with laptops is a simple one: its a “all in one” unit.

Damage any part of it and your looking for a new computer.

Desktops have always been the better option for most people on budget, anything goes wrong you just buy a new part and pop it in.

Most desktop computer are more powerful and have better features than laptops.

Lets look at 2

I can bang on about chip sets all day, but the thing you need to know is that desktop has a “intel core 2 QUAD processor” and is twice has powerful has the laptop for the price.

So the question you need to ask is;

“What is more important to me?”

Power or Mobility?
