Before I start, this blog has reached one month of age. Thanks to my friends, Kotha and Nick for posting regularly helping to reach one month. I also want to thank everyone who has visited and enjoyed our writings.

Anyways, I bought my current desktop two years back. I had the choice of getting a new desktop or a new laptop. I decided to go with the desktop and stick with my old laptop. There are tons of good reasons why still you should prefer a desktop over a laptop. This is true that a laptop gives you the flexibility of carrying your computer wherever you go. There are other related positive things that I can think of. For instance, it looks cool. Anyways, there are also equally good reasons why you should consider a desktop over a laptop if you had to decide between these two. It is more important if you are currently going to college.

Picture: My Study Table

Sperm: Okay I guess I have to talk about this first since I mentioned it at the topic. The name is “LapTop” but NEVER put LapTop in your “Lap.” It is very important for males because laptop releases heat and that is very bad for your sperm cells. If you like your genitalia do not use too much laptop on your lap. If you do use it in your lap them make sure that you are putting the laptop at a safe distance. With a desktop, you can make your sperm happy.

Cost: Laptops cost a lot compared to desktop. With the same prize you will get a very nice desktop with much more facilities. Desktop also allows you to use different types of monitors and others. With your laptop you are stuck with whatever was provided to you. If you want to upgrade your laptop, you will have to waste so much money. On the other hand, upgrading desktop is not a big hassle and they are made in such a way that you can easily add or modify current configurations. In addition, a desktop will ALWAYS last longer than a laptop. You will eventually have to take your laptop for fixing within 2-3 years. You will be saving quite an amount of money with laptop.

Memory: This is not as much of a problem as it used to be before as we are seeing more and more laptops with very strong memory. However, there are many programs that you would still prefer a desktop to perform. One of the very important reasons why I bought my new desktop because I wanted to do video editing. I love working with videos and laptops are not at all good for that purpose. I have tried with laptop but most of them seem to screw up the quality. In addition, laptops are not good for playing games. I loved playing games before. I lost interest on games now. Anyways, if you like want to use programs that take up huge memory, go for a desktop.

Theft: Laptop getting stolen is a very regular thing for people. I remember I was at my university library once and this Chinese dude was sitting right beside me. He left his laptop and went somewhere. When he came back, he found his laptop being stolen. Unfortunately, I was a way too occupied with my studies and failed to notice the thief, who stole his laptop. You do not have to worry about things like these with your desktop

Studies: Some people think that laptop gives them the flexibility of taking computer to their classes and take notes. Well, to tell you the truth, that never happens. If you bring your laptop to the lecture halls, you will be occupied with MSN/Yahoo, porn, movie, games etc rather than the actual lectures. I still prefer using the traditional ways of using paper and pen to take notes. However, I do transfer my notes into computer after I get home. I do not take my laptop with me into the lecture halls.
