Computer VS. Laptop

[njiang46]

If you are looking for a computer, you should consider to have a laptop. It saves space, goes anywhere and uses five times less energy than desktop

It totally depends on you. If you are into playing the newest games, you’ll absolutely desire a desktop as laptops capable of running newer games can be very expensive. It is portable. You can get a laptop out of the house and travel with it, but a computer stays at home. I believe Desktop is better than Laptop for the reason that... you can use desktop rough & tough than laptop.

If your talking about a gaming PC at full load than yes, laptops use less energy than desktops but a properly configured gaming desktop or average desktop at idle use the exact same amount of energy as a laptop. Think about it, they use the same cpu, similar graphics, and similar storage hardware so in that case a well configured desktop would be even more efficient than a laptop since it's not going through a battery. Also you might consider how harmful the battery manufacturing process is to the environment.

That's why I seldom use personal computers =)
