Laptop Computer vs Desktop Computer
The computer is one of the greatest inventions in the world. Nowadays, there are more
and more people who have their own computers. However, some people easily get
confused when deciding to buy a laptop or a desktop. It is obvious that both of them can
do well at what they are needed for such as working, studying, researching or
entertaining, etc. Both consist of the basic parts like main board, ram, VGA card, hard
disk, etc. Yet despite these similarities, there are quite a few differences between these
two kinds of computer. A laptop offers some advantages that a desktop doesn’t.
The first one is the portability. The laptop is light and portable enough to be brought
anywhere. In addition, it only needs a small space to put it on. These things are very
necessary for the businessmen because their jobs require them to move continuously. It is

coolness. It uses a device called solid-state drive (SSD) to contain data. Therefore, it
doesn’t make noise while working. Besides that, it runs quite cool due to the silent
cooling fan and doesn’t waste much electricity. In contrast, the desktop makes loud noise
when running due to its regular hard drive and fans.
oreover, it runs very hot – almost hot enough to fry an egg. Some people try to add extra
cooling fans for their desktop. Unfortunately, this even makes their desktop noisier. The
next benefit of the laptop is the convenience. In the laptop, a mouse is replaced with a
touchpad, which is a great solution for the portability. The touchpad certainly cannot be
dropped. Moreover, the laptop also has a lot of built-in devices such as speakers,
microphone, webcam, etc. You can carry all of them easily while moving because all of
them are built in. On the other hand, the owner of a desktop has to buy them and plug
