Laptop or Desktop?

[Monica]

What do you prefer and why? Maybe you have both? If so, what do you use more?

I had a laptop for years but it was getting old and slow. I realized I only used my laptop at my desk and never anywhere else so I decided to get a new desktop computer with a 32 inch monitor. Loving it!

I still use my laptop in the living room. It stays connected to the tv so I can watch YouTube or anything I download on the big screen. It’s slow but it works for basic streaming purposes.

That's pretty smart actually. I use mainly my laptop. I do have a custom-built desktop that I hardly use that is in dire need of a good upgrade haha.

Throw it out if you don't use it.

Mainly for my work as back ups.

I still have my old laptop but these days I have it plugged into a living room TV so we can watch youtube and stuff I download on the TV.

 

[Smiley]

Both, depending on the situation.

Desktop, because it's more convenient. I have an all-in-one desktop myself.

I looked at those when I was searching for a new computer. I wanted a bigger monitor so I went for the traditional tower/monitor setup.

All-in-one PCs are worth at least $300 give or take. Got mines for 379.

After using a laptop for more than 12 years, I am thinking to go back to the desktop. The only thing that makes a laptop better than a desktop is its portability.

If you don't need portability I'd go with the desktop, one less thing to keep charged. Plus you can have a way bigger screen with a desktop.

Laptop, since I need the portability.
