Description: The conventional machine with the ability to be easily upgraded and provide more freedom is what defines desktop computers when compared to laptops technically.


The difference in technology is so diverse that one can find alternatives of all kinds and types. You can select one thing and then suddenly you will have options lined up, offering something even better. Similar is the case with computers and computing technology. Starting with the basic desktop and tower PCs, computers are now modern day defined editions in the shape of laptops and super sleek notebooks. Users of computers are divided sporadically between the different versions of computer technology, using what suits them the best.

When we talk about the difference between PC Desktops and laptops, we will not be surprised to see that each has its own strength, USPs and differences which mean that users need to understand the technicalities and options involved before deciding what to use. Both types of computers might offer the same kind of functional value, but their overall experience might differ and this is what sets them apart from each other. Today’s guest post blog is going to talk about why desktop computers can be preferred much more than laptops even in today’s generation where virtual computing is on a rise.

Conventional and Proper Computer Machine

Even though laptops have come too far in offering a functional value and complete user experience, with the advantage of being mobile, still they cannot compete with desktops in a winning way. Desktop computers offer a full computing experience with strong performance options to choose from. They are traditional computers designed to perform heavily, be it entertainment or office work. Users prefer to use desktop computers because they do not have the problems related to software or mechanics which are more common in laptops.

Easily Up Gradable

Desktop computers are more upgrade friendly. You can start with a basic level computer and over modify it to make your computer a powerful beast with a high performance mechanism. When you talk about laptops, they do not offer the same kind of leverage. Upgrading or customizing a laptop’s machine is not easy at all and when you try to do that you put your laptop at the risk of malfunctioning. This is why most users who are in high performance gaming and heavy duty work, prefer to use desktop computers because they can easily upgrade and change them as and when required with time without having to go through any serious trouble.

Focus Better and Less Stress

When you have a laptop close to you all the time, you are not only inviting stress and more work but also no self-time. Companies give laptops to employees because they expect them to work wherever they are. Checking emails, replying to them and working on small operational tasks has become a norm since the arrival of laptops, which means that there is a constant pressure and work stress. With desktop PCs, there is no stress as once you leave your computer, you leave everything behind.

More Cost Efficient

Obviously, when you compare the prices of a laptop with the same functional value as a high performing desktop computer, you will notice a huge price gap. Desktop computers are more affordable compared to laptops.
