Compare And Contrast Laptop And Laptop

People today often find difficulty in deciding whether to purchase a desktop computer or a laptop. The two types of computers may seem very similar, but there are many major differences between them.
As most people know, a desktop computer is hard to move and is cluttered with many wires and cables that need to be connected to one another. The speakers, keyboard, and mouse for a laptop are all built-in so it does not contain visible wires. To many, it is quite annoying to see so many wires and cables in a desktop computer.
Laptops are also exceptionally portable. They are easier to carry, smaller, and are more lightweight than bulky desktops. The portability of computers also depends on screen size. Laptop screen sizes range from 11.1 inches

If a laptop is damaged, it will need to replaced as a whole, however, if a desktop computer gets damaged the parts of it that have been damaged can just be repaired or replaced.
Another factor in choosing between a laptop and a desktop is its cost. A desktop computer’s price is cheaper than a laptop because it can be more powerful than a laptop, given a price of purchasing new components such as graphics cards, processors, and extra RAM, or random access memory. The only downside in purchasing a desktop computer is that it consumes more energy than a laptop because it has many components. The problem in a laptop is that it can be stolen easily. If this happens, a replacement will be need to be purchased or insurance will need to be
