Question

I have a few questions, what is better first of all a computer or a laptop? If you look at every detail between computers and laptops, which one is better as in performance main thing, but also other details too?

And if computer is better, what are the good brands of computers these days that I can get under $1,000?

If laptop is better, what are the good brand of laptops these days that I can get under $ 1,000?

Answer 1

It depends on what you need it for. If you like to travel allot and need internet access then a laptop, but if you only need to use it for your house than a desktop/computer. With a desktop/computer you are able to upgrade everything, and with a laptop you are only able to upgrade the memory, and hard drive, so if you are wanting to stay up to date I would recommend a desktop/computer. A few well known brands would be; Dell, HP, Apple, and Mac (In order). Try going to Best buy or Fry's electronics, they will help you out in choosing the right one for you.  

Answer 2

Desktops will have better performance for the same price as the laptop so I would say to get one of those. Some good brands are Gateway or HP.

These sites have pretty good deals on computers if you buy them now because of school starting back up.

I have both an HP laptop and an HP computer. I definitely recommend a computer over a laptop in terms of performance, but obviously a laptop is portable. So if your a traveler I a laptop, if you'll only be needing you computer for home than a desktop computer
