[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1097946, member: 96560"] From the point of view concerning cost, a desktop is more economical, because you are not paying for the laptop screen and keyboard again and again as when buying a laptop. Also desktops are upgradable - you can upgrade to a newer graphics card when something faster and newer comes out or when a desired GPU has dropped it's price. That of course is if you don't need the portability and use the machine only at home. People imagine the 'freedom' of sitting on the sofa watching TV and using the internet at the same time. But I find it awkward to type on a laptop sitting on my lap; the positioning of the arms and hands are just not right. And putting the laptop on the low coffee table in front of the sofa is not good positioning either. [/QUOTE]
