What do you like more Laptops or personal computers ?Or both?For me it's personal computers.

PCs, imo, last longer. Laptops tend to get beat up.

 

[Father Heathen]

They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Cellular Phone w/internet

PCs, they tend to have more bang for the buck, are more stable with system heavy software, are easy to upgrade and can be repaired by even me.

The only drawback with PCs is they are a swine to fit in your suitcase when going abroad.

Though i usually use a phone or tablet for convenience .

I preferred PCs, as in tower units, some time back when the technology was changing so rapidly that it was easier to incorporate new units if one had a tower that could accommodate such things. These days, possibly most laptops don't even have a DVD/CD player/writer - which can be annoying. Also, given the room, most PCs are much easier to modify/repair/upgrade. But I have had laptops over the last several years, and which have behaved reasonably well.

No laptop is capable of doing what i need my pcs to do.

Me, exactly the same

Laptops use much less energy
Quite an advantage if you use them for hours

Yes. I guess I'm behind the times.

A desktop pc (both laptops and desktops are pc's btw ) is always going to give you more bang for the buck as opposed to a laptop.

Especially today, when apparently how thin a laptop is, is more important then the actual work it can do with decent performance, lol

I don't like working on laptops either due to ergonomics. I feel cramped on the keyboard and I hate trackpads.
So unless mobility is really imporant, I'll never choose a laptop over a desktop.

People that need more then just a browser anyway.

Yes, particularly in the summer.
I also run an old CRT monitor on my PC [linux], but only in the winter when it helps to keep me warm.

 

[England my lionheart]

MacBook Pro laptop but I prefer my phone.
