Desktop vs Laptop

If you are thinking about buying a new computer but can't decide whether to buy a desktop or a laptop, I hope this blog helps you. The cost is very different for both:
Cost:
Desktops can start as low as $400 for a full package (computer and monitor) and still be a pretty powerful system but the prices still have a wide variety. Laptops have a fairly wide variety of component options but they are more limited than desktops. For a more powerful and faster laptop, prices are pretty high and can range up to $1500 or more, depending on the brand.
Portability:
Desktops are large in size and have a separate monitor. While it is possible to transport your desktop from place to place, it could be tiresome. Laptops however are very portable and can be carried to about anywhere and available to use quickly. Due to their compact size, they can be taken from place to place and be carried in backpacks or laptop carrying case.
Ease of use:
Setting up a desktop can be tiresome as well as it is much harder than a laptop. You have to hook everything up, start it up, and then able to use it. Also requires more space to use it. Laptops are built to be easy to use, requiring little time and effort to get running.
Gaming:
If you are a gamer and looking for a computer to buy for initially playing games, then choose a desktop. They are capable of using high-powered video cards that have higher power requirements and require better heat reduction/dissipation. Physical space is limited in a laptop which could limit the graphic capabilities. The heat reduction/dissipation is limited by the space in the laptop case and power is also limited which doesn't allow for video cards needing those higher amounts of wattage to run.
I hope after reading this blog, this will help you make a better decision when buying a computer.
