If you are adding RAM that is one thing.  If a Laptop needs much more -- forget it.  It will be too expensive.  Most every component in a laptop is more expensive.  If you are on a budget, put the money into a desktop or save for an inexpensive new laptop... You will be much better off.  Laptops also do not have the life of a desktop -- rebuilding a laptop is not the best use of money (besides adding RAM to a good one)

Spend more time on the computer than anything else you do.

Are you talking desktop or laptop?\n\nI'm very happy with my Dell laptop.  For a desktop I think you could get something very good quality that wouldn't be as expensive as a Dell.

There's no reason a laptop shouldn't be as reliable as a desk top if you take reasonable care of it.   But for the same power (memory, processor speed, disk size and speed), it will certainly be more expensive.\n\nYou can have internet everywhere there is WiFi available, and for extra money, you can get a wireless modem that connects to one of the cell phone data services.\n\nIf portability isn't important to you, you're probably better off getting a desktop machine.  You should be able to use your current display with it and avoid having to buy a new one, assuming you're happy with it.\n\nYou can buy used laptops, if you decide to go that way, on eBay, assuming you trust that sort of thing.

I would go for a PC. \n\nNot because Macintosh are crap, because they aren't. \n\nI just believe support for a PC..especially in gaming is way greater.

Generally laptop and notebook refer to a portable computer but more specifically, a notebook is considered to be smaller than a laptop.  Notebooks are also smaller and lighter than laptops but they have less power but more battery life.  Laptops will generally have more features, more powerful processors but less battery life.  There are two types of PDA's, those made by Palm which use the Palm OS and PocketPCs which run the Windows Mobile OS.  That's the main difference between Palm PDAs and a PocketPC.

If you have room, get a desktop. You'll have more power and more memory in general, plus it won't fry if you drop some crumbs on it.

You're doing the right thing by comparing the usefulness of the two.  A laptop does offer portability, a desktop, more power.  The basics are: What do you want to do with your computer?  Same goes for the software, as it would depend upon what it's to be used to do.  Most computers come with the main programs already installed and you decide how you want to use the machine.  Not too familiar with all the brand names out there, but I trust Dell and they often have great specials.  Good luck!

Laptop is simply the carrying PC but notebook has a wider range that any computer machine could be called notebook. like organizers, translaters, laptop, etc.
