Desktop versus Laptop

I am in the process of evaluating what to buy for my next computer because this one I am using at home is already antiquated with its Windows XP and core duo processor. I am torn between a laptop with portability and the desktop with its stability. My concern with the laptop is the portability that I can use it almost anywhere particularly when I am on the road or abroad. But the desktop has the convenience of the big monitor and the stability of the programs not to mention the durability. 

What is your opinion on this?

Hello Alexandroy, I would recommend you buy a desktop because of its durability and stability of the programs that you mentioned. Although Laptop would give you the portability and the ease of working from any one, it still is a bit cumbersome and one thing I do not like about laptops is that it gets heated up and becomes uncomfortable. But with desktop, there is no problem and although I have to sit in one place, I can make sure my posture is correct and thus, not cause any back and neck problems.

With laptop, one tends to become too casual and sloppy and our posture suffers a great deal. So if you buy desktop versus laptop, you have this added benefit.

To solve the problem of portability, you can buy a tablet and use it only when you are away from home and switch back to desktop when home.
