Which is better: computer or laptop? What's better. Computer or laptop

Greetings, friends! It seems to me that there is at least one computer unit in every home now. Usually people come to the store to buy a home laptop or desktop computer for personal use. This is where the question is most often asked: computer or laptop, which is better for the home? Do you want to know how not to make a mistake with your purchase? Let's listen, I'll try to tell you more from personal experience.

Before buying this or that IT equipment, decide what exactly you need it for. There are different categories of computers and laptops - from budget to ultra-expensive.

• When purchasing a PC for Internet surfing, communicating on social networks or watching movies, there is no point in incurring large expenses. A good laptop from the middle or low price category will be enough for your home.
• Is there a schoolboy or student in the house? Think seriously about the device! The child will learn, his abilities and needs will grow with him. A huge number of essays and term papers will soon be replaced by more serious tasks. For example, mastering presentations and editing simple promotional videos are a reality, not a fantasy, in the life of a modern student. Here you need a device with more serious power.
• Aspiring web designers and other young freelancers need a device with good performance and a graphics card. Agree, it is almost impossible to write even a simple program or application in a “creaky” old man.
• The class of ultra-modern gaming laptops stands a little apart. These are always very expensive devices with special capabilities and super speeds. Any advanced gamer knows that a good game costs good money, and there are no other options. At the same time, there is no point in buying such a “miracle of technology” for home use at the “kettle” level.

Advantages and disadvantages

A desktop computer and a laptop differ significantly in several ways. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. A comparison in the table will clearly show these differences:

Placement and equipment

Of course, a desktop computer is more flexible in terms of configuration. A 3D designer can add an excellent monitor to it and reduce constant eye strain. The copywriter has the opportunity to work with a scissor keyboard without hand discomfort. The user can select all components completely painlessly according to his wallet and needs.

As for the space that equipment takes up in the house, everything is clear as day. A large computer will take a lot when placing it. You can sit anywhere with a laptop. Work on the couch? No problem! Movies and recipes in the kitchen? Easily! Cartoons in the nursery? Easily!

Accessing the Internet via Wi-Fi from anywhere in the apartment is a clear advantage of a laptop. Do you like to retire and sit on social networks in a secluded corner? Take home a laptop instead of a heavy system unit.

Price

Whatever one may say, the laptop is an engineering genius. The designers worked very hard and for a long time to fit great capabilities into small dimensions. It is this difference between one form factor and another that significantly affects its price. With the same performance, a laptop will always be 20-30% or more more expensive than its bulkier counterpart. New inventions have to be paid for! Be prepared for this.

How to buy a computer?

When assembling a desktop PC, buying an all-in-one PC is not enough. For full operation, it must be equipped with a monitor, keyboard and mouse. This is the minimum set. Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities will also have to be purchased, especially if the system unit is not very expensive.

In addition to your computer, you should buy speakers for high-quality music listening and a webcam for communicating on Skype. As a plus for the laptop, I would like to note that it already has all this as standard.

Standard Windows firmware for a desktop computer rarely comes straight from the store; laptops, on the contrary, in 90% of cases are immediately sold with the latest OS update. Whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage is up to you to decide. A beginner will be happy with this content, but an advanced user will remake it in his own way. The question is, is it worth paying more?

Fragile and reliable at the same time

I note that the laptop is a fragile thing and requires careful handling. In a home with small children, there is a risk of breaking a portable device. And a cup of tea spilled on the keyboard is generally a disaster. It is under it in a portable computer that all the important components are located.

The minicomputer requires more thorough cleaning. All pet owners note that the device quickly overheats over time. This happens because the wool is drawn into the cooler and the likelihood of processor failure increases significantly. The laptop requires additional care and accuracy. Fragile things need to be protected!

Now imagine (or maybe it is true) that you live in a remote village where there are constant power outages. When working on a home computer with important information, all files run the risk of disappearing at once! The laptop will continue to operate on battery power for some time, so you will still be able to save an important document.

Making the final choice

Ask me what is best for you? I will answer: in order for equipment to serve for a long time and work on it to be a pleasure, you need to be guided by the tasks that will be performed. Ideally, you should have a desktop computer at home for the whole family and a laptop for schoolchildren. This way everyone will be happy, and a conflict of interest will not befall the family! Can you only purchase one device? Choose and buy what you need.

Do you like to travel and work on the road? Laptop only! Can't pay attention to your computer outside the home? Definitely a desktop PC! Will serve faithfully for many years!

Interesting! By the way, the purchase of this type of equipment has a certain gender division. Are you surprised? Let me tell you a secret: girls love laptops more! Why? Because they are light, small, colorful, etc., etc. In addition, there is a small number of connected wires. The female half of humanity does not really like or like them. Men more often choose serious, solid devices instead of a laptop. Their huge system unit does not bother them at all. That's it!

Did you like the article? Was she informative and interesting? Was it easy for you to read? Thanks to her, did you decide what to choose? I will be glad to any comment and even sharp criticism. Write, come to the pages of my blog again, I am glad to see every new guest.

See you soon, friends!

Thank you for your attention! Bye everyone! Sincerely, Rostislav Kuzmin.

When deciding to acquire new computer equipment, users often ask the question: “What is better to buy: a laptop or a desktop computer?” There is no 100% answer here, because the final choice depends on the purpose of the purchase and further use. Whether you need equipment for gaming battles, work, or writing educational essays, the article offers effective advice on choosing for each case, revealing all the pros and cons of the equipment.

What do you need to know before choosing?

To further simplify the choice when solving the dilemma of which is better, a PC or a laptop, it is worth studying in detail all the pros and cons of each technology.

Advantages and disadvantages of a laptop

A laptop is an ideal unit for those who travel a lot without interrupting work (for example, model). Thanks to its mobility, compactness and light weight, it is easy to take on a business trip or a cafe, and all the accumulated information will be “at hand”. In this case, there is no need to dump tons of data onto a flash drive to show a presentation or a completed project. Simply turn on the laptop, select the desired file and “voila”. This is the main advantage of the laptop.

Fans of such a device highlight other advantages, for example:

• the ability to connect to Wi-Fi in any place where there is a wireless network;
• battery-powered operation, meaning there is no need to be near an outlet all the time;
• complete set based on one case (speakers, webcam, keyboard, touchpad - the same mouse), no need to buy additional elements.

You might be interested in:

Despite the abundance of advantages, the device is not without its disadvantages. These include fragility and expensive repairs if broken or damaged. Another disadvantage is low performance when compared with a desktop PC. But the main disadvantage of a laptop is the impossibility of improving it: the internal “stuffing” of such equipment quickly becomes outdated, and it cannot be upgraded.

Advantages and disadvantages of a computer

A PC differs from a laptop primarily in its dimensions. For a desktop, you need to allocate a permanent place in the room, purchase special furniture, and compactly arrange a large number of wires.

Despite this scale, its main advantages are in favor of buying a stationary PC:

• Acceptable price. Given the same performance of laptop and computer components, the latter, in most cases, turns out to be cheaper.
• Possibility of modernization. Outdated parts can be easily replaced with new ones. So, you can improve the memory, video card, etc.
• Utility. By purchasing a monitor with a diameter of 22 inches or higher for your computer (+ adding a TV tuner), you can easily arrange family viewing of your favorite programs in the evenings.

In addition, the permanent location of the desktop in one place eliminates the possibility of mechanical damage, which significantly increases the service life of the equipment.

The disadvantages of the equipment are directly related to its dimensions. There are only 3 of them:

1. Lack of mobility.
2. A large number of parts and wires.
3. To assemble a PC, all elements are purchased separately.

The operation of the computer requires a constant connection to electricity, that is, if the supply is lost, it will simply turn off. To prevent equipment from burning out during frequent power surges, an additional stabilizer is purchased.

Desktop PC or laptop: which is better in the end?

When choosing between two devices, it is worth giving the championship flag to the one who will best suit the type of activity and personal preferences of the user. As a hint to buyers, below is a list of 5 purposes for which computer equipment may be needed.

To a home environment

What is better, a laptop or a computer for home? It is difficult to give an exact answer. Of course, a laptop (for example), which can be hidden in a table or moved to any room, is more suitable for a small apartment. In addition, he:

• silent and does not disturb the sleep of other family members;
• combines all the elements necessary for work and rest (camera, keyboard).

Drinking tea in the kitchen or taking a bath while listening to your favorite TV series is especially pleasant when you have a laptop at hand. If you choose a model with a powerful processor and video card, you can have fun playing any of the modern games.

The computer is also a good option for home use when space is available. This technique is especially practical if there is a child in the family. Playing cartoons for your baby on a large computer screen is much safer than on a laptop. Why? It’s just that the child won’t be able to reach the large monitor, which means he won’t be able to damage it.

For ardent gamers

What is better to choose, or a gaming computer? There is nothing to think about here: a computer and only a computer. Here are 4 reasons:

1. You can add any configuration to a desktop PC, so it can handle even the heaviest game.
2. Gameplay on a larger display is brighter, more interesting and more immersive.
3. There is surround sound, which is necessary to enhance the effect of the gameplay.
4. The cooling of a desktop PC is better than that of a laptop.

In addition, it is much cheaper to assemble a gaming PC in detail than to purchase a ready-made gaming laptop.

Over the past month, I have already written a whole series of articles on the blog about buying home (stationary) computers, so that any beginner in the field of computer literacy can either independently select and buy all the components necessary for the subsequent assembly of a computer, or buy a ready-made system unit , if you are not confident in yourself or simply do not want to waste time. I have also dedicated a separate article to talk about purchasing basic peripherals, without which a desktop computer would turn into a simple box :)

However, I have not yet started talking about laptops. Today, many people buy laptops instead of bulky system units and separate monitors for them, because they are convenient, take up little space, and are not particularly inferior in performance to stationary ones. And in this article I would like to talk about what is better to buy: a regular desktop home computer or a laptop? After all, there will still be some difference between them? Now I will highlight the positive and negative sides of both so that any user can make the right decision to buy exactly what he needs, because in the next article we will talk about buying laptops!

What advantages can you highlight if you purchase a laptop?

The first thing worth saying in favor of laptops is choosing and purchasing them is actually not such a difficult matter. It’s just that beginners who understand little about computers are always unsure of this process and often order a laptop with the help of some knowledgeable friend or relative. Yes, and this is normal, because when the time came to buy my very first computer (and at the same time I still didn’t know how to use it at all), it was an acquaintance from the IT department of one company who helped us with the choice :) Now I myself have 4- x years of work experience in the IT field and therefore such assistance is accordingly not required.

The process of choosing a laptop is similar to the process of choosing a ready-made (already assembled) computer (i.e., system unit), which I talked about in the article:

That is, you, of course, do not need to select individual components for the laptop (as we did when independently selecting the “stuffing” for the system unit), which greatly simplifies the task!

I would say that it’s even simpler :) When buying a ready-made system unit, you will one way or another have to buy a monitor for it (if you don’t already have one), perhaps a keyboard and mouse, as well as a speaker system (at least two simple sound speakers) . This is what I consider mandatory. You may also need a Wi-Fi adapter if it is not built into the board and you need to connect to a wireless network. For those who communicate on Skype, you will need a webcam, otherwise Skype will turn into a regular telephone conversation :) In general, when buying a desktop computer, we somehow add a number of additional equipment to it.

When buying a laptop, you need the most important thing - buy it directly and a mouse for it :) Although some “monsters” can very skillfully handle the touchpad and work with it faster than with a mouse :) Everything else is optional. For example, you can buy another speaker system so that you can hear not dull and very low-quality sound from the laptop’s built-in speakers, but decent sound from external speakers. And so, 99% of laptops will have a built-in webcam, 100% will have a built-in Wi-Fi adapter, and, of course, there is always a keyboard and built-in speakers.

However, despite the fact that choosing a laptop is easier than a desktop computer, their price will be more expensive. For example, a laptop with exactly the same configuration as the system unit will still cost more. And this is already considered a disadvantage...

Mobility. Even the bulkiest laptops (with screen diagonals of 19 inches or more) are still easy to carry with you anywhere. I put it in my laptop bag and carried it with me. You obviously can’t do this with a desktop computer :)) To hell with carrying such a box over a hump!

For example, I take my 19-inch laptop with me always and everywhere. Previously, when I worked offline, I went to work with it. Because at the technical school all the computers were already quite old, and at the same time they were stationary! And I’m used to sitting where it’s comfortable for me :) So that if anything happens, I can very quickly move to another table or to another room!

Less noise from laptop. Fans in desktop computers often make annoying noise because they are bulky and the only option to reduce the noise is to replace the fan with a better one. But at the same time, there is a fan not only on the processor cooling system, but also on the video card and power supply :) In any case, there is a place for noise. This problem practically never occurs in laptops. Only in case of overheating for some reason, for example, in powerful games.

Takes up less work space. For a bulky system unit, you need to look for a place so that it does not get in the way somewhere in your legs, and at the same time you need to place it in such a way as to ensure normal air circulation. For example, you cannot press the system unit of a desktop computer close to the walls! The air will circulate very poorly or not at all (if you squeeze it almost completely), which will lead to overheating! These problems are not observed with a laptop. With it you can sit almost anywhere, even put it on your stomach and watch a movie while lying on the sofa :) For example, when I work from home, I can periodically change my workplace. In the summer, I am often outside the city and my room, where I work most of the time, heats up throughout the whole day because the sun shines directly through the window :) And because of this, I often move to other rooms. What if I only had a desktop computer? Moving it from room to room is quite a story!

Connectors for connecting any devices are right at hand. Those. you don’t have to bend over (and sometimes crawl on your knees) to connect something to your desktop computer. After all, most of the connectors are located on the rear panel, and if you want to move some of them to a more convenient location, then again you will have to buy additional equipment: adapters, splitters, extension cords, etc. You don't need anything like that on laptops. All the connectors, one might say, are at hand and you don’t need to go anywhere :) The main thing is that there is the right number of them, and this is especially true for USB ports, which we use most often and connect a mouse, printers, scanners, flash drives, hard drives and a bunch more there other equipment.

Lack of a large number of wires coming from the system unit. There will be a power cable coming from the laptop, as well as a mouse. This is the main and most necessary thing. Well, perhaps you will also connect speakers and an MFP (printer, scanner, copier).
But from the system unit there will be a power cable to the surge protector, a cable to the monitor, a wire from the mouse, a wire from the keyboard. And that's the minimum! Whatever one may say, there are always more wires from the system unit and they very often get confused and you end up with a whole web :)

Battery operation possible. Every laptop, even the cheapest one, has a removable battery. After all, it is considered a portable device. The battery allows us to work for several hours without power in any convenient place with no outlets. High-performance powerful laptops, in energy saving mode, run on battery power for about 2-3 hours without recharging. Less powerful laptops can work longer without recharging. But it all depends on how you use the computer. If you just stand there without doing anything, the battery will not be discharged to zero in half a day :) Also, laptops can come with batteries of different capacities.

And what’s also important is that if you don’t use the battery at all, you can remove it and work on the laptop only from the mains. This will prevent the battery from wearing out. For example, that’s what I do. I spend most of my time at home at work, and what is the point of running on battery power in this case? If only in order to protect against a sudden power outage, which will allow you to save the data on the computer with which you were currently working. But this happens so rarely... But if there is a battery installed in the laptop and it is still connected to the mains, the battery will begin to wear out quickly. In one of my old laptops, the battery failed in this way within a year. It began to hold a charge for about 10 minutes :) And to be honest, constantly discharging and charging the battery gets boring, considering that power plans can also be configured in the system itself, which will constantly reduce the performance of the laptop (if it is running on battery power), then increase (if the work is carried out from the mains). Therefore, when you work in 99% of cases in one place near sockets, it is better to remove the battery, and about once a month install it again and do a couple of charge-discharge cycles. Then you take it out again.

On laptops, with all the above advantages, you can perform all the same tasks that you perform on standard desktop computers: work, play games, watch movies and whatever. After all, this is the same computer in a smaller version :) The main thing is to buy a laptop with the appropriate characteristics! For example, if you are doing simple office and educational tasks, then this is one thing. But if you want to play modern toys, as well as work with complex professional graphic editors or other powerful programs, then this is completely different, and the price of such a laptop will jump somewhere over 50,000 rubles. In general, in terms of what tasks will be performed, laptops, just like desktop PCs, are divided into gaming and budget - for office tasks. This is the simplest classification.

What disadvantages can be identified in laptops compared to desktop computers?

Always higher price than similar desktop computers with the same characteristics.

Desktop computers are always more productive. Even the most high-performance laptops will always be inferior in performance to similar desktop computers. For example, having bought a gaming laptop, it will always “pull out” less modern new products at maximum graphics settings than a similar desktop computer. This happens because all the boards in the laptop are greatly reduced, and as a result, their characteristics themselves are slightly reduced. Take, for example, the gaming video adapter of a desktop computer and the one in a laptop. The difference in size is simply huge :)

Laptops always get hotter than desktop computers. Due to the compressed size of the case, air circulation will of course be worse, as a result of which the video adapter and processor heat up more. When working with the simplest tasks (documents, the Internet, movies, etc.), this may not be noticeable, but in games you can immediately feel the heating of the components.

Laptops are very difficult to disassemble. If something happens to the laptop and you no longer have a warranty on it (or maybe you do, but you know what the problem is and are sure that you will fix it yourself, because it’s faster), then the disassembly process will be really difficult :) Each manufacturer and model has its own characteristics. Some are easier and faster to understand, but some take an awfully long time to tinker with (especially the first time). At the same time, you will never find instructions for disassembling a laptop in the kit and will have to look for it on the Internet. But disassembling a laptop without instructions is a big risk of simply ruining it or not putting it back together :) Disassembling a laptop may, for example, be necessary after it has been in use for a long time (several years) in order to notice thermal paste (heat-conducting substance) on the processor and video adapter. The old one may already dry out within this period of time and as a result the components will overheat. Therefore, after a long service life of the laptop, the thermal paste may need to be replaced, which will require completely disassembling it. And this can actually take 4 hours or more, in the case of the first disassembly!

There are no problems with disassembling in desktop computers! You unscrew a couple of screws, remove the cover and you already have access to all the hardware.

Accordingly, all these disadvantages can be attributed, on the contrary, to the advantages of desktop computers.

Having already listed all the advantages and disadvantages, a clear picture most likely emerges that laptops are still much more convenient, more mobile and, in general, today they should be given more attention than bulky desktop PCs.

However, for some tasks it is better to take a desktop computer. Let's consider in what cases what is better to buy.

When is it better to buy a desktop computer and when to buy a laptop?

So, what is better for you to choose, a laptop or a full-fledged desktop computer? It all depends on what goals you are pursuing.

A desktop computer is worth taking:

If you plan to fully play the latest games on your computer at maximum graphic settings. In this case, the laptop will perform worse, will be much more expensive, and may overheat. Still, laptops have not yet caught up with desktop computers in terms of performance and, in principle, are more intended for work rather than play.

If you are going to work in complex, professional graphic editors or programs that require very high performance, and mobility is not important to you, then I can recommend taking a desktop computer. With this choice, you will not think about overheating, and will also get better performance, as in the first case.

In both of the above cases, it’s worth buying some cool monitor to go with a good system unit, on which modern cinematic games will look great and at the same time it will be pleasant and convenient to work with graphics. I talked about how to choose a monitor and other peripherals for a computer in the article:

A laptop is worth taking in all other cases. After all, they have such a number of advantages over bulky stationary PCs that if it weren’t for the two reasons listed above (well, maybe I missed something else), then these stationary computers would not be popular at all.

Because everything can be done on laptops, even if they are more expensive. But what convenience! Where I sat comfortably, I wanted to - in a couple of minutes I moved to another place, nothing interferes and does not make much noise.

In general, I personally like it! And, perhaps, if I don’t become, God forbid, someday a gambling addict, then I no longer have any reasons to buy a desktop computer instead of a laptop :) If only you need to organize some kind of constant uninterrupted task on the computer at home, which takes up a lot of system resources, then I would think about purchasing a powerful desktop computer.

The last desktop computer was not bought with my money (I wasn’t working then), but by my father, and that was about 6 years ago. It still works, but it just stands as an additional computer at the dacha :) You never know, someone comes and needs it, then let him sit down and work with it... Since then I have only bought laptops for myself.

That's probably all. And those who are interested in how to choose a laptop for themselves will soon (most likely in a week) be able to find this information in my latest article!

Have a nice day and the same mood :) See you soon!

Nowadays, the word “computer” means not only a desktop (stationary) system, but also a portable one: a laptop or netbook. Each type of computer has its own characteristics, which is why the inexperienced buyer often wonders which one to choose. Below is a comparative description of desktop computers, laptops and netbooks, discussing their strengths and weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages. This article will help you determine Which is better - laptop or computer? and make the right choice depending on your needs.

Of course, not everyone has doubts when choosing a computer. Many people know exactly what type of personal computer they want to see in their home. However, this article will be useful for such undecided people, as it will allow them to learn about the advantages of the type of computer they have chosen and how to use these advantages most effectively. A desktop computer, first of all, is good because, unlike a laptop and netbook, it is a full-fledged computer. It outperforms portable systems that are in the same price range. That is why serious work, as a rule, is performed on desktop computers.

Here it should be said that the lion's share of computers is used primarily for games, which for the most part place very serious demands on PC resources. A desktop computer is more stable because its components are housed in a spacious, well-ventilated case, making them less susceptible to overheating. In a situation where replacement of a particular component is required, a desktop computer also compares favorably with its mobile counterparts.

Firstly, components for stationary systems are usually much cheaper than similar components for a laptop or netbook.

Secondly, it is quite possible to carry out such a replacement yourself. Only desktop systems can be fully upgraded.

Devices such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth adapters and a TV tuner, which are usually not included in a desktop PC, can be purchased and installed at any time. And this is only a small part of what you can use to expand the functionality of a desktop computer.

As for laptops, their main advantage over desktop systems is mobility. A computer of this type is the best choice for people whose work or lifestyle involves constant movement. Any modern laptop is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for communication with the outside world. Using these wireless technologies, data is quickly exchanged between a computer and other mobile devices, such as phones, smartphones, and tablets. In addition, Wi-Fi is a common means of accessing the Internet today. The built-in webcam and microphone allow you to communicate visually with your loved ones online.

Business people who have to organize various off-site presentations will appreciate the advantages of a laptop. And, of course, one cannot fail to note such an important and useful feature of computers of this type as the ability to operate autonomously from a battery, which desktop computers do not have in principle. When buying a laptop, you should remember that the configuration of budget models allows you to solve problems that arise during work or study, but only powerful and, therefore, expensive systems are suitable for most modern games.

Over the past few years, miniature analogues of laptops called netbooks have gained quite a lot of popularity. In a dispute about which is better, laptop or computer, it is worth taking these “mini-computers” into account. They are barely larger than a school notebook. Unlike laptops, netbooks often do not come with an optical drive, which, however, can be easily fixed by using an external drive. Due to its compact size, a netbook is an excellent companion during long trips. The capacious hard drive of such a computer can accommodate a significant number of movies and music files that will not let you get bored on the road.

Netbooks are primarily aimed at watching movies, listening to music, working with office programs and surfing the Internet. Therefore, more resource-intensive tasks, such as video conversion, can take a lot of time. The quality that distinguishes netbooks from laptops is battery life: for the former it averages 7 (and for some models 11) hours, while the latter can only work for 2–3 hours without recharging.

Disadvantages of Computers

The disadvantages of a desktop computer include:

• Inability to operate autonomously (when using a UPS, the battery life is only 5 – 10 minutes)
• Attachment to the workplace
• Lacks components such as a built-in webcam and microphone

Among the disadvantages of laptops:

• Risk of components overheating
• Inability to fully modernize the system
• High price of components and difficulty in replacing them

The disadvantages of netbooks, in addition to the disadvantages inherent in laptops, include:

• Lack of built-in optical drive
• Poor performance

To summarize the above, in the age-old dispute, “ which is better: laptop or computer“, we can say that desktop computers are best suited for home people. A computer of this type will not create many problems during its operation and can serve as the basis for a home multimedia system.

On a laptop People who, due to certain circumstances, tend to frequently move from place to place should stop their choice. The mobility and compactness of the laptop will be appreciated by business people who are forced to always have certain data in electronic form at hand, as well as by those who do not want to allocate a separate place for a computer at home.

If you are inclined to buy a laptop, but are willing to sacrifice the power of the computer in favor of its compactness and battery life, netbook is the best choice for you.

And in conclusion, here are a few comparative characteristics that will definitely help those who still doubt which is better to make a choice: a computer or a laptop.

Laptops– these are almost full-fledged desktop computers. They differ from desktop ones in their mobility. A laptop is slightly larger than a netbook, but it can easily fit into a computer bag or the back seat of your car. There is already a disk drive, various ways to connect to an external monitor, and high performance. You can find laptops with a gaming graphics card, a powerful processor, and a large amount of RAM. The laptop is an ideal device for gaming and travel. But there are also disadvantages here. Firstly, this is the price. Laptops are more expensive than desktop computers. Secondly, it is very expensive to upgrade a laptop, and often it is simply impossible.

______________________________________________________________________

Computers.

, system unit, keyboard, mouse, speakers - this is what most users immediately think of when they hear the word “computer”. These are the computers that most users have. When buying a computer, you can choose the characteristics you need and focus on the price. This is extremely convenient, since almost anyone can assemble an inexpensive computer. If it becomes outdated, you can update the hardware and the computer will live a new life again. You can connect speakers, a printer, a scanner and many other peripheral equipment to your desktop computer. The only downside is the fact that it is stationary. You can't take it with you on the road. Therefore, this type of computer is only suitable for home use.

We wish you success in a successful purchase!

What is better to buy: a desktop computer or a laptop? Hello dear blog users. In this article I want to express my opinion about which is better: laptop or PC

? In principle, everyone chooses for themselves what is best to buy, but still, let’s figure it out.

Personally, I am now writing this post on my laptop, which I purchased for 9,590 rubles at the DNS store in my Nizhny Novgorod on March 8, 2013.

This is what it looks like to me. I bought it on sale, in honor of the holiday, and its price is about 10,500 - 11,000 rubles. It is, of course, an option for work, not for play. As for the system, it has a 2-core Intel processor at 1.8 GHz, DDR 3 RAM at 2GB, and since there are 2 connectors, you can buy more. It is equipped with an integrated video card of 800 MB, as well as a hard drive of 500 GB, a wi-fi module, a memory card reader, and a high-speed DVD-ROM writer. As for the matrix, it has a diagonal of 15.6 inches. The battery lasts approximately 4 hours.

I am writing this not for advertising and similar purposes, but about the fact that a laptop is quite capable of replacing a desktop PC that I have lying around in my closet. Despite these characteristics of my laptop, the games I played were GTA 4, Battlefield 3, all stalkers, FIFA 2014 on full graphics, and a bunch of other games. Naturally, I no longer have a single game on it, since I do blogging, not nonsense.

And if you buy a laptop for about 20 thousand, you can easily choose a model that will completely replace a desktop PC for gaming. Well, now let's talk about the most important thing, namely, what is better to buy?

1. It's fashionable. It's rare to meet a person who doesn't have a laptop. Personally, as a blogger, I simply need it. I recently spent 15 days in the hospital, and what would I do with your box called “system unit”?
2. Takes up little space, no need for a table at all.
3. No wires.
4. It is valuable, unlike any system unit. If you don’t know, then even a system unit for 100,000 rubles will not be taken from you at a pawnshop for 1,000 rubles. Well, you don’t need to go there =), I’m just saying.
5. Can be taken anywhere.

Pros of a desktop PC

1. Power for gaming.
2. Any type of upgrade

A laptop has many more advantages than a simple box. If you can’t decide which is better to buy, then for games, take a stationary PC, or a laptop for about 30 thousand. If you need a gadget for work, watching movies, music, or not for very heavy games, then any laptop will do.

Personally, I recently bought an HDMI cable, connected the laptop to my LCD TV, then connected the wireless joystick, and oops, my laptop turned into a full-fledged PlayStation 2 - 3 console.

Personally, I got rid of my personal computer and am very happy about it!

In principle, technology has now become so cheap that you don’t have to choose between a laptop and a desktop PC, but buy both, and a tablet at once. But personally, I'm glad that I got rid of a simple PC for good. Now I can write this post while lying on the couch, but how would I do it with a simple stationary PC? Naturally it would be very difficult.

That's all for me, see you soon!
