it depends on what you're gonna use it for. If you want something fast with lots of good processing speed and memory, a computer is probably easier. But if you just want something portable, get the laptop.

When we travel we take our laptop and some movies. Can't do that with a PC. But a PC can deliver surround sound and the monitor can be much bigger. Also if you travel for work - the laptop is the way to go as work will give you a tiny little laptop, not top of the line.

Depends on finances, what you will use it for, and what you like.

Laptops are more expensive and their keyboard is usually cr*p to work with. Still they're portable which makes up for a lot of things.

Probably a laptop, unless you on a serious budget or are a serious PC gamer. Seriously

That depends on what you need it for.
If you're not a home most of the time a laptop makes sense, but a PC is easier to upgrade and repair in the long run.

its how tech centered you can be or how dissinvolved with reality.

It depends on what you are using it for. The main advantages of the laptop are portability; the main advantages of the desktop are potential computing power and size of display.

Isn't a laptop a computer? Do you mean a should I buy a spinning top that you put in your lap or a new computer?
If you ask me, a spinning top you put in your lap is waaay cooler, besides you already have a computer. I know this because you are already on answerbag.
If you're browsing around the net and see a computer for sell with at least 2-3GB of RAM at or around 100.00 bucks could you let me know?

True. Laptops have to worry about both heat (not much space for a cooling system) and battery life. As a result, they generally run slower, though they are comparably speedy in many real-world tasks. Just don't expect to do my video rendering or 3D-gaming on your laptop.
Also, a desktop is quite a bit easier and much cheaper to upgrade.
