The sword vs the pen..or…the pen vs the sword; Regardless of how the saying goes, there is no comparing a laptop vs a desktop as they just have completely separate purposes and abilities, similar to that of a pen vs sword.
For starters, a laptop brings a user convenience of being able to travel and carry them, they are portable devices.
A laptop is generally not meant to be upgraded and sometimes is not cost effective to repair.
On other hand, a properly built and maintained desktop can be upgraded and repaired, usually, at a cost effective rate but they are not portable devices, they are meant to be on top of a desk as the name suggest.
