they can be as good as eachother, but unless you need it for travelling you're better off with a desktop,
whatever you spend on a laptop for the same price you could almost definatly find a more powerful desktop.

I bought my computer and modified it with extra parts for gaming. It runs like a dream even when im not playing them.

Laptop, if only cos it's easier to move between my flat and home.

Catch me as I fall,
And even more so while I'm standing tall.

I was torn between getting a powerful desktop, or a convinient laptop. In the end I just got a powerful laptop. Cost me a lot of money, but it's definitely worth it.

Desktop is the right way to go. It is so much easier and the performance is better in every way. Laptops are always a bit behind in the technology. I have had two laptops an two deskpots, and the latest computer i have built myself. That is truly the best!

Apart from memory, it is extremely expensive to upgrade anything on a
laptop

and memory is often soldered in place making it impossible to replace
the small size also limits how good it can be

Its been a long road, getting from there to here. Its been a long time, but my time is finally near. And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing's in my way.

Desktops get you more for the money and will average 15 years lifespan, they will be long outdated though
Laptops get you less value for the money and will average 2-5 years...
If you don't need your computer away from home then stick with a desktop...
