When it comes to browsing the internet, working from home or maybe even playing games, we all have a preference as to which kind of device we enjoy using whether it be a desktop PC or a laptop.

I myself have both a laptop and a desktop PC and I find that when it comes to things such as working, posting on forums, browsing the internet and checking emails, the laptop is more convenient but when it comes to playing games, I find the PC better for that.

Do you prefer a desktop or a laptop?
 
I use both. I honestly have way too many computers :P

On my desk in my home office, I have:
Desktop - This is my newest one, just built it this summer. Used for personal / gaming
iMac 2023 version - Used for a lot of company related things

On the other desk:
Desktop - Old desktop I built years ago. I now let me Gf use it now to game.
Asus Laptop - I use this for testing purposes.

On the go I have:
Macbook - my personal laptop for on the go.
Thinkpad laptop - This is provided to me from my day job. I use this for work related things.

Then I also have a spare HP laptop. Don't really use it these days.
 
I have both but mainly use my desktop. I do also have a tablet too.
 
I have both, but I prefer to use my laptop. I enjoy the portable aspect of it and being able to use it whilst laying back.
 
I actually have both of them. My desktop is used at time on full time basis. My laptop on the other hand goes out with me because of its portability. I use it at home too whenever I feel like it.
 
I have both but I relocated my laptop downstairs and connected it to the TV. I use it for youtube (I like the computer version better than the TV app) and any bootleg shows / movies that aren't on the streaming platforms (netflix, hulu, prime, etc) :whistle:
 
Desktop for sure. I don't need to be mobile, I am no businessman, so having a static PC is the best solution plus I can get a very good configuration compared to the same price laptop. I had laptop before but because it was of no particular use for me, I simply sold it to my friend who was a student at the time and needed it more than I did.
 
When I was out of town recently I brought my laptop and it was pretty convenient in the hotel room. When the hotel TV wasn't showing anything I wanted to watch, I got on my laptop and watched Netflix, Max, Hulu, etc.
