desktop anywhere
by john.a.wills · about 7 years, 6 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
Desktop computers are easier to use almost anywhere. Their only disadvantage is that they cannot be used on one’s lap, which is sometimes necessary (or at least some users think it is), and, more generally, that they are not easily portable. A desktop as one’s base is best, and a laptop as an extra to be carried around, if really necessary.

Choosing one over the other may depend on your daily usage
by kaypoland · about 7 years, 6 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
It’s simple to decide. Choose based on your priority
Desktop gets more options for hardware upgrades such as graphic memory HDD RAM and Processor cooling fan list goes on but lacking portability.
Laptop: will not only let you move it to the next room but also you can take it to school/college or on vacation and most of the laptops will allow you to upgrade HDD/SSD and RAM memory.Choosing one over the other may depend on your daily usage so kindly enlight with more information that what will be your daily task on it?

Either Or why not both
by mjd420nova · about 7 years, 6 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
I bought a Lenovo desktop and laptop, both with the same specs. A desktop can be configured with a wireless keyboard and mouse and work from your lap like an LT but with a bigger screen. Portable is nice when needed but the new phones can do so much more. Why not a desktop and a tablet?

Storage and Power
by thechas · about 7 years, 2 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
Well, the first thing is if you need a lot of storage, or need a powerful computer at a low cost, a desktop is your best option.
That said, depending on what I am doing, I use either a desktop, laptop or tablet.
My music and document collections are on a desktop system. (Yes, the data is backed up.) I also find it easier to type and work on the desktop than on a laptop. At a minimum, I would use both an external keyboard and mouse with a laptop for extended work.
While the laptop is primarily for travel, I do keep copies of some files and emails on both systems.
I use my tablet for simple browsing and while stretched out on the couch watching TV.

Laptop

I like the idea of a laptop, because you have the freedom of taking it to work, home, or a cafe. Laptops are so powerful these days, so if all you’re doing is basic software and internet, then nothing wrong with a laptop.

What do YOU need?
by rs_darwin · about 6 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
It’s important that you know what you need versus what other people think is best according to their experience.
Desktops PCs are great for:
1. People who would like to upgrade hardware and parts here and there.
2. Those who can’t easily remember where they left certain things. Desktops are pretty much set up to stay in one place so you don’t need to look for it in case you forgot where you put it.
3. People who don’t think portability is that much of a big deal.
4. People who prefer dual monitors over just a single one. Desktops can be set up with multiple monitors. -

What will you be using the desktop for? Assuming that you haven’t made up your mind yet. We can’t suggest things if we’re not exactly sure what you’re looking to get out of the device? Are you considering other options aside from a desktop PC? Anyway, it doesn’t sound like you’ll be responding to this thread anytime soon.
A desktop PC nowadays isn’t as bulky as it was a few years back. It doesn’t have to render you stuck in one area of your house so you can move it around and connect it to a different monitor like any plug and play device.

It depends. I like a laptop better because I can bring it anywhere but desktops are great too because of storage and power it has versus laptops.

Desktop PCs

Desktop PCs are not dead. Well, not dead dead, anyway.
Sure, these days phones and tablets have replaced PCs for a lot of us when it comes to getting day-to-day stuff done. Then, when more power or a bigger screen is needed, you probably turn to a laptop, which can even pull double duty as a desktop, hooking up to a monitor, mouse and keyboard when needed.

What will you use it for?
by sophiehendrix031 · about 6 years, 9 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
It depends. If you’re always traveling or simply just moving around the house, go for a laptop. But if you can sit for hours at home then a desktop is better.

Laptop for the win
by sinja_sin · about 6 years, 8 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
But you may want to figure out what you need first. If you’re into ‘heavy’ things like movie-making/design/gaming/you name it, I’d consider a desktop. But if you’re just about browsing/watching movies/chilling/working — why would you want it? %)

On the go
by paulinegreening · about 6 years, 8 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
For me, I’d prefer a laptop over desktop nowadays. I do a lot of things at once and there’s a need for me to have my laptop with me as much as possible. This way, I can take it around the house and even take it out if there’s a need to travel.

In a fast paced lifestyle and environment….
by thejjfoster · about 6 years, 8 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
I’d prefer a laptop over a desktop because of the fast paced lifestyle and environment that we live in, it sometimes demands that you do things at once. Having a laptop to carry around gives me that freedom.

For home, I prefer the comfort of big screen and keyboard
by veronica@its · about 6 years, 7 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
I prefer the comfort of a big screen and big keyboard when I am at home.
I know these are not limited to a desktop, but I would not want to spend more than I have to for something I use at home.

Buying laptop/Desktop tips
by sfcable · about 5 years, 6 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
it really depends on your own requirements and budgets, and size. When it comes to laptops, size, Screen quality & Graphics matters.
For long typing sessions, you’ll need to get a laptop that has a comfortable keyboard.

Apple desktop
by koenraaddunderdale · about 5 years, 2 months ago
In reply to Is desktop computers best for home?
I support Apple Desktop Computers. In most cases, it is more convenient thanks to the big screen and bigger memory. It is easier to upgrade and connect with a wireless keyboard and mouse, often facilitating the whole process hugely.
