It depends on what you're going to use it for...\n\nHere are a couple websites that will help you in choosing the right computer based on your needs:\nhttp://caca.essortment.com/howtochoose_rfwd.htm\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/atwork/getstarted/choose.mspx\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/uk/businesscentral/themes/winxp/article7.mspx\nhttp://www.intel.com/personal/resources/configure/pc_decision_tool.htm\nhttp://sify.com/news/othernews/fullstory.php?id=13605598\nhttp://www.anysubject.com/computer-desk-how-to-choose-the-right-computer-desk-for-your-home-office.asp

You need to ask yourself what you want to do with your laptop. You want to do video / sound editing & desktop publishing? Get a MAC. If you want to  do gaming, productivity etc. Then a Windows PC is the way to go. BUT, make sure anything you buy is Windows VISTA capable. Keep in mind, MAC's are switching to intel processors. Since they are doing that, I would go with a Windows based PC.  You will also find a lot more software for Windows and TONS of games. Macs are pretty stable, but Windows XP is extremely stable and so far is the best OS  that Microsoft has created. If you decide to go with a Windows based unit, don't limit yourself to an Intel processor. AMD has very powerfull processors at a cheaper price than their Intel counterparts. Always remeber, RAM-RAM & more RAM. Get as much RAM as you can afford. The more the better. Sacrifice hard disk size in favor of RAM if you need to. You can alway buy external storage at decent prices. Good luck and enjoy whatever you choose.

Desktop\n- if u don't plan to carry ur computer everywhere u go.. esp. between cities\n- if u need serious processing power (image, video, audio processing, gaming)\n- if u plan to use the computer for more than 10hrs @ a stretch\n\n\nLaptop\n- if u travel between cities much... like to carry ur computer whenever possible\n- if u can adjust with moderate processing... not xtreme gamin, video/image/audio processin in minimum time;\n(of course if u pay more (i mean exorbitant rates) u might get an almost desktop-replacement laptop)\n- if u r not a heavy computer user... max of 6 hrs per day @ stretch\n- want to minimize space occupied by computer, can compromise on monitor size (laptops come to max 17inch i suppose)\n- if u r willin to spend THRICE the amount for the same efficieny!!!\n\n\nBottomline:\nIf u r a heavy user of computers... go for a desktop\nIf u r a light user(& decide to be so @least for the next 5 years)... and u r ready to pay bigger bucks... go for a laptop

Yes, on a number of fronts. \n\nA desktop PC is less portable, but usually more powerful, and more flexible with regard to upgrades that are possible.\n\nA laptop will usually come with a less powerful processor, because of the heat generated, and usually you have less options with regard to upgrades. \n\nLaptop machines are usually more expensive to buy and to repair when they go wrong.

3. Dell---I prefer Dell because that's the computer I'm using now, and it's awesome!

a laptop bu far. a tablet pc is like an overworked calculator. if you want power performance and quality at a very atractive price go with dell. go for a bussiness laptop instead of a lawer ened consumer one. but a laptop has everything a desktp has exsept shrunk( hence why they cost so much) tablet pcs are more for the fedx man. i mean he only logs what he takes off his truck and what goes on it. not much there.

Neither. Get a Dell Inspiron.

I would look for something with at least a gigabite of ram. and a 120 gig hard drive.\nthat would be a great laptop.

honestly, none. i would go with a MAC. those are the best if all you want to do is browse internet, playgames, or do anything graphic. if not then i would go with the HP, i find that HP is more reliable then compaq or toshiba. toshiba would be my second choice, and i would rather not have a computer then have a compaq.

I would keep my computer. I can do a lot of things on it like watch TV and listen to music. I can keep in touch with my family & friends via e mails.

Notebook, laptop, desktop, tower, server.

Unless you do a lot of travelling, the desktop is better.  There's too much playing around with the mouse button on a laptop.  You could always hook up a mouse to the laptop and then it wouldn't make any real difference.\n\nThe really good thing about desktop PC's is that parts are more freely available and are easier to install than laptops
