Desktop or Laptop?!?

Question

Okay well I will be getting a computer for my birthday...

but I don't know what to get a desktop or a laptop.

I will use it for school, email, chat, myspace, and research.

So.. I don't know what to get. I like how you can get a whole office with a desktop (Monitor, Printer, ECT.) For about $500-$700. Also I like how portable laptops are. The budget it $700 max.

THANKS

Answer 1

If you don't need to take your computer from one place to another - or work at school or in the library - definitely get a desktop. The ONLY advantage of a laptop is portability. And you pay for it in speed, comfort, and usability. The biggest issue is the screen. A laptop screen with never look as good as a desktop. Especially if you plan on doing any work with photos and/or videos - a desktop is the way to go.
