price: you’re going to pay more for a laptop than a comparable desktop computer. Smaller components are more expensive and you will see that reflected in your price. If your family utilizes the computer mainly for word processing and internet use, a laptop might be a practical choice. However, video games, video editing and even desktop publishing require additional memory, storage and possibly high-end video and sound cards. Each of these will increase the cost and the weight of the machine.

Ergonomics: In this case, there are specific attributes a computer workstation should have in order to minimize strain on the eyes, neck/back, wrists/hands, etc. Although it is possible to set a laptop up in such a way to be ergonomically sound, people rarely do so.

upgrades: Although there are some things that can be upgraded/replaced in a laptop, it is just not as easy to keep up-to-date and in good repair as a desktop machine.
 
You can't compare them with each other. Laptops suit some peoples demands/lifestyles better than PCs, and PCs suit some peoples demands/lifestyles better than Laptops.
They're really 2 different tools for doing 2 different jobs. It's like asking "What's better, a screwdriver or a spanner?", without knowing what you are intending to use it for.

That said, PCs totally pwn laptops. :p
 
Agreed. Laptops and Desktops are used for the same purpose, but by two totally different means.

You can compare them, but it'd be like comparing the neutritional value of a french frie and a pea.
 
It would be like comparing a PSP with a Xbox they are very different as it's in a completely different market.
 
I'm sorry but what is the point of this thread? To point out that laptops and PC's should not be compared because they are entirely different products that serve entirely different purposes?
