Desktop versus Laptop

I think it is one of the hottest topics ever discussed in almost all technology forums. In fact the answer lies in your requirement; I mean why you want a computer or laptop. If you are an exclusive home user and do not travel much, a desktop would be handy. A desktop is easy to upgrade and more user-friendly than a laptop. But it lacks portability. So, if your job demands traveling a desktop will be of no use to you. A laptop is compact and you can use it on the go. With the advent of internet dongles laptop is really a mobile office. But laptop is costlier than desktop.
