Laptops are nice but harder to repair if something breaks can be cheaper to just replace.

I too have both, but personally the desktop is the still the king. it was what a computer was originally and it is still the same today.

When I have to go to the computer lab to make copies (I do not have a printer), I use desktop computers.  While the desktop is still king of the crop, the laptop is more compact and personal.  You can stick it in a case on the go.  You can take a laptop to a hotspot.  A desktop is not a computer you can take out with you. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:

I got 2 lap tops, a desktop and a tablet, and phone, I just move around alot, but I like my desktop to do surveys and stuff and my new laptop is touch so I lose pages all over the place, I don't do surveys on this, but like gaming cept the mouse right and left gets confused and well I get agitated. lol

I have both a laptop and a desk top.  I use the laptop more than the desk top because the desk top is in the bedroom and the laptop is in the den and it is the newest computer.

I have both, but really I barely use my dekstop. I mainly use it for music and photo storage. My laptop is way more convenient.

I have both, I always liked the desk top better, but then I started using the laptop and once. I got used to it and the touch of the laptop,it's my favorite.  I rarely use he desk top anymore.

I have my laptop for doing my online things cause I can take it anywhere and do whatever I want on it.  I use my desktop cause I was able to get a more powerful graphics card in desktop form so I use that set up to do stuff for my portfolio and my future job.

I love my laptop for the same reason. My hubby has a desktop which has so much more memory than mine. I like the portableness of the laptop. I do like having my own computer also. That way we don't fight over what email lists I get. It was a big problem for him when we shared computers. Now I can get my own mail and enjoy what I want to be involved in.

After my dad passed away in January my mom gave me the laptop she bought for my dad and I love it so I never get on my desktop anymore.  Same as you I love being able to use it on the couch.

Desktop is mostly for "heavy duty" stuff like work, school, gaming, or long periods of internet surfing... Laptops are mainly for accessibility and short computer sessions

I have a laptop and a small netbook that I use if I travel.  I also use it as a "back up" computer so if I have problems with one of them....

I can use the other.  I cringe if I think I might have to live for a few minutes without a computer I can use.   :heart:

 ;D Laptop all the way.  When my desktop was too far gone I replaced it with a laptop which I've never had before.  I absolutely love it and can't imagine being stuck with just a desktop any more.  I have wifi internet so I can use my laptop anywhere in the house that I want and I love it.

I have a desk top and lap top.  My desk top crashed and had to get it fixed.  So I bought me a laptop to replace it.  I needed one anyway because of a business I have.  I can use it on the go.  Hope everyone has a wonderful day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I use both too. ut I like the desktop model better. The lap top is great if I want to sit and relax or if I need it away from home but I'm more comfortable with the desktop.

right now I have a desk top that I use.  But for my birthday I am getting a lap top. Have been wanting one for awhile but didn't want to spend the money getting one.  So I can use the desk top for playing games and surveys and the lap top for my important work.

I really like my desktop more, but the laptop does allow me more freedom as it is, naturally more portable. Have not really looked much at the tablets and ipad thingys, and absolutely have no desire to ever get on the phone for anything other than actually talking to people. Yeah, I'm just an old fuddy-duddy...

I have both also but, I use my Laptop alot more often than my desktop. My desktop is probably about 8yrs old where my laptop has built in WiFi so I can go anywhere in the house and use it. I use my desktop for very little, just certain programs I have on my desktop I don't want to transfer over to the laptop.

Laptops are convenient and portable to bring around, but I put a padding between myself and laptop if I don't have a desk due to the heat generated and possible radiation effects. Despite the convenience I still use my desktop while at home.

I do have both. My desk top I believe should belong in an antique store. Still running but I hardly used it since I have my lap top. I do not have high speed internet on desk top requires a lot of technical cable and wiring devices that I don't know how to hook up. So lap top is my choice!!

Lap top! I like the portable aspect as I'm often using it to watch things or listen to music as I get ready or clean different rooms in the house. With a desktop, you're restricted to one area. I've also had better luck with the longevity for lap tops over desk tops!

I have both but I am almost always on my desktop. I run it through my TV screen so I use my laptop when I am playing video games that I need a youtube walkthrough if I get stuck in an area so I can watch and play at the same time without having to swap inputs.

Post by: ShadeTree on June 28, 2013, 08:09:48 pm
I like the convenience and portability of a lap top, but sometimes it can be a pain for me to use. I like desk tops because some things you can do a lot better with a desk top than with a lap top. I really need a new desk top, or at least a new hard drive for it... plus a new desk. I guess I like them both fairly equally.
