My experience has been desktops last longer just because of the space in them for cooling. Laptops are more versatile but packing all that hardware in a tight space cause heat problems. Plus laptops cost more than desktops to start with. If it wasn't for my son giving me his MacBook AIR when my Mackbook crapped out after 8 years I would have bought a desktop. I love these MacBook laptops but after all they are very thin, all that heat inside is what cooks hardware eventually as opposed to a desk top which has so much space between the components.

The timing was great he had just ordered a MacBook Pro and was about to sell his old Air online, when mine conked out he said here dad have it.

Unless you play online games, which I never have played, a $350 desk top is more than adequate for this stuff we do.

Build your own never buy it off the shelf. You get more for your buck. That is what i do.

Dell has nice desktops and you can spread the payments over a year for no interest

Laptop for practicality and desk top for long term all I will say

You can buy a desktop for $300 without a monitor if all you do is work from home.

What he said If you want a good tool to get the job done; desktop for sure. I use a cheap laptop for traveling, if it breaks or gets lost I just buy a new one;-)

desktop if you want it to last 10 years or a laptop for more money and it'll last you 5 years if you're lucky

It has to be a laptop for me because I take it around the house when online.

For longevity it has to be a desktop

Once I got my first laptop I never bought another desk top, the convenience is just perfect.
