Back in the days when I used to teach absolute beginners the basics of using a computer, surfing the internet and sending and receiving email, one of the questions that students often used to ask me was: I am considering buying a computer, should I buy a desktop or laptop?
Of course, there is no definitive answer to this question as it very much depends on how you plan to use your computer and what your lifestyle is. The only way to decide therefore is to do a direct desktop vs laptop comparison, carefully considering the relative advantages and disadvantages of each form of computer.

For me, between a desktop and laptop, laptops gain preference because they are portable. The ease of carrying them and the fact that they are light outweighs the drawbacks.
