I actually use my laptop for the majority of my computing. Mainly because it is just as good, if not better, than most desktops. Handheld PC's are okay, but I just don't think they are good as a laptop. With laptops  being as lite and small as they are now, there isn't a huge advantage to using one.\n\nHowever, I love my tablet too. They are great. If you are on a long flight or something you can play tic-tac-toe on your computer, or draw or do whatever, it's fun. But if it is really worth the difference in price, I don't know. I think for certain types of use it is definately worth it, but it depends on what you are looking for!

Buy the most powerful model you can afford.  Screen width is not as important as processor type and speed, and ram.

A notebook is better because you can take it around. A desktop you can't take around. But the desktop will be much cheaper and it will be faster. A desktop can do more stuff. If your in college or going to college or do work where you move around a  lot then it's worth getting a laptop. But whatever you get make are you have a lot of RAM-memory. The more RAM you have the faster your computer will perform.

neither - you should buy a dell!  i had an HP laptop and then bought a dell to replace it - its just better bang for your money!\n\nspecifically you should get an inspiron 6000\n\nEDIT::\n\ni just configured an inspiron 6000 with a 100gb hard disk and a DVD-RW/DL burner for $714.00 before tax and shipping (free for a little while)  Also this system has a dedicated graphics card unlike the 2 systems you are looking at

Laptops aren't so good for your lap anymore since they overheat in poor ventilation areas like cloth and rugs. They aren't as easily upgradable as desktops are. You can carry them into the bathroom with you so you can have something to read.\n\nI'd get one laptop for the Internet, Warcraft 3, and old games; and one desktop you can fiddle around with and play the heavy-duty games on.

Is it is justified comparision. Both serve 2 different purpose. Any way to answer your question i will say computer (preferably laptop).

Okay.. there are a number of parameters when you want to buy a computer. Also one company may give you an excellent desktop but not a good laptop. Here's my low down..\n\nGraphics intensive, high end, extremely specialized work -> go for Apple, anything else -> use windows. Not that windows is better (Mac is any day better in terms of technology) but windows is a lot less headache when something goes down.\n\nHP/Compaq Desktop -> good value for money, decet looks\nHP/Compaq Laptop -> cheap but not that good a bet, decent looks\n\nZenith Desktop/Laptop -> Are you a techie?? If not, forget it. \n\nDell -> Best value for money looks good\n\nAcer -> cheapest, not sure about quality but definitely good to look at\n\nIBM(Now Lenovo) Laptop -> best performance, a bit pricey but looks very rugged and non - refined.

perfer you to get a gaming desktop, that usally will work for CAD or grapic disign programs.\n\nif you get a laptop to perform at a desktop it willl cost you atleast 2 grand./\n\nall you need is RAM(lots of it) and a POWERFUL VIDEO CARD

Messing with latops is best left to a computer shop. I rip apart and put together desktops all day but would probably not do much at all with a laptop.

Well my friend both have their own advantages. Like if you go for desktop pc it will cost you less as compared to laptop.But with laptop you can anywhere means you will get freedom to work anywhere.But in case of desktop you have to work at one place. With laptop you need not to worry about power failures i.e. you can work for more then 2 hours with out power supply.Laptop battery backup is minimum 2 hrs. But in case of desktop you must have a good UPS and it will give you back up of max.30 mins during power failure.And if you want more back up then you have to buy inverter which is compatible to computers. So overall laptop is better for your requirement. One more thing always buy pentium 4 series laptop.Dont go for celeron processor based laptops. Go for ACER laptops they are economic and quality is good.

Go with the laptop.  It has just as much power as a desktop and is easier to maintain.  The mobility of a laptop is another plus.  You can use it as a CD and DVD player where ever you are.  They are easy to network and most colleges are wifi equipped so they can be used anywhere.  I have two laptops and a desktop and rarely use the desktop.
