Compare PCs to Laptops.

I actively prefer using a desktop over a laptop.

It sounds ridiculous, but desktops make more sense

than a laptop for a lot of people.

Usually, those people value performance over

portability, or they'd rather not pay for a laptop's
comparatively high price tag.

Sure, powerful laptops out there offer the best of

both worlds for those who need power and
portability just hook up a laptop to a monitor if you
need a bigger screen and you're set. Thing is,
though, powerful laptops don't really offer the best
of both worlds. They're often relatively heavy and
large, and while they may be powerful, they're not
always as powerful as a desktop with the "same"
specs.

There's no two ways about it. A desktop with

similar parts as a laptop works faster and smoother.
That's because desktops usually come with full-size
parts that are often more powerful than the similar
counterparts designed for laptops. It's especially
noticeable with processors and a computer's overall
speed.

Laptops may come with processors that have similar

model numbers, but they're rarely as powerful as the
desktop counterparts.
