Both have pros and cons different situations call for different devices

I'm a heavy blender user. A year ago I purchased a laptop with Rygen 9 and RTX 3060 with 16GB Ram and 6GB VRam to deal with that. Now I'm regretting my decision as its not able to Render my animation projects, giving me System is out of GPU memory error. Whereas I transferred a file to my friend who has a Desktop with i7 CPU and RTX 1650Ti with 4 GB VRam and it rendered out smoothly that too in lesser time

Once laptop hardware break, you need to replace the whole thing. When part of PC hardware break, you'll just need to fix that part. Also its much easier to upgrade PC.

The short answer is depends on what you want it for.

Laptop for me, mainly because I like writing, and being able to change your environment has proven to be helpful.

I have both and will always because each device serves its own unique purpose. My MacBook Pro is the on-the-go school computer that I use whenever my computer science and cybersecurity professors require specific software, while my custom-built TZ590-BTC-DUO + i5-11600K + RX480x6 mining rig makes a perfect Hashcat powerhouse at home for those CEH jobs that require a password cracking pentest. Granted OpenCL isn't the only reason why one would choose a desktop-class system over a laptop, but it's probably the biggest use case for it.

Correction: PC stands for Personal computer it can either be a Laptop or a Desktop (a desktop is what you call a pc)

I’ve been using a laptop for years! Hook up some monitors, and it’s perfect

But you can still replace the battery, some you can open up and there will be upgradable storage and ram in a laptop, also a another good thing about a laptop is that if you have mobile date on your phone and go out and wanna game you can hotspot your phone to the laptop

I constantly travel and move around the country so ill take the laptop any day of the week

Laptop is my go too. Here is South Africa we have frequent and scheduled power outages called Loadshedding. They schedule it to happen at least once a day for 2 hours, but can range up to 10 hours total. Thats why i say laptop bacause i would still like to game even if there is no power

I am the guy who specs out everybody's workstation at my company and since work from home is a thing I went with mostly laptops that connect to a USB-C dock. This also means that it's super easy to switch to another desk if not many people are in the office that day.

Desktops, laptops overheat and sometimes the hinges break

The one thing most desktops don’t have is portability but if you get an ITX case or the GT 502 portability is not that much of an issue

[Whateverfloatsurboat]

Your desktop won't overheat and kill itself in 2 years lol. Just as the warranty ends...

[Guy_Sandler]

Everyone has to pick laptop because no matter what reason you have to say desktop is better, at some point in your life you will need a portable computer

[JarringSteak]

Definitely desktop, i don't need portability.

Biggest cap about laptops my parents divorced when i was young so my only choice were laptops to game on i ve got my first dell laptop in 2009 with an intel celeron 4gb ram ddr3 and intel hd graphics i ve gamed a lot on that hardware and guess what.. It still holds on even today in fact its the single laptop that held on over time.... Old laptops were truly amazing in their quality and usage
