After last week, we looked at 5 reasons to choose a laptop rather than a desktop computer, it's time to give some arguments in favor of the good old desktop PC.
Fortunately, there is the written or unwritten rule that dictates that a person should only own a laptop or desktop computer only. On the contrary experience shows that a significant portion of today's users, and a stationary and mobile machines, each of which has its priceless application when a certain range of tasks.
It is for this reason and in order to avoid one sidedness, let's look at a few areas where desktop computers are still exceed mobile counterparts.
The reason for this advantage is the desktop before all that when designing their manufacturers do not need to comply with so much of the stringent requirements for maximum energy efficiency, which are indispensable for the development of a mobile system. In other words, more powerful desktop computers including due to higher energy consumption.
So if you insist on the maximum level of performance, which is able to provide advanced computer technology, all the arguments on the side of the desktop.
For this reason, they offer an incomparably greater opportunities for modernization and inexhaustible experimentation.
This ability involves another class of desktop computers, plus an opportunity to extend the life of the configuration by replacing only some of its components. On laptops, this option is often limited and sometimes non existent. When the mobile configuration is outdated morally and physically, then sooner or later it will have to replace the other.It is unquestionably one of the strengths of desktop configurations to all notebooks. The chassis of mobile computers as necessary (and default) to be thin, light and compact a limitation that a desktop computer does not need to comply with.
For this reason, they offer an incomparably greater opportunities for modernization and inexhaustible experimentation.

Also, a desktop PC may be equipped with a screen diagonal of 20 inches, while a typical notebook usually has a 15-17 inch screen. For certain tasks, such as professional video editing and digital imaging, large diagonal is an important requirement, so this kind of activity desktop computer is a more appropriate choice
By necessity and design mobile PCs are highly integrated systems. Many of its components (such as CPU, GPU) are soldered to the system board, and replacing them is a fairly complex operation that can be performed only by a qualified service center, has a special equipment and tools for repairs.
For this reason, a direct comparison of prices is not a good idea, and the choice between a desktop or portable computer configuration is better to look for the opinion of a competent professional who will explain the difference between the hardware components to the engineering point of view.

Performance
Although in recent years the difference between the rate of desktop computers and portable alternatives to gradually melts, desktops still have the edge in this regard. Depending on the particular hardware configuration, the difference may vary from 20-30% of applications (e.g., games) to 35-40% (in the case of components of an older generation).The reason for this advantage is the desktop before all that when designing their manufacturers do not need to comply with so much of the stringent requirements for maximum energy efficiency, which are indispensable for the development of a mobile system. In other words, more powerful desktop computers including due to higher energy consumption.
So if you insist on the maximum level of performance, which is able to provide advanced computer technology, all the arguments on the side of the desktop.
Upgradeability
It is unquestionably one of the strengths of desktop configurations to all notebooks. The chassis of mobile computers as necessary (and default) to be thin, light and compact a limitation that a desktop computer does not need to comply with.For this reason, they offer an incomparably greater opportunities for modernization and inexhaustible experimentation.

Comfortable
Since desktop computers do not have to comply with the physical volume / size, they offer a higher ergonomics of use. For example, for a number of user designed and comfortable keyboard is a determining factor when choosing a laptop, as a guarantee of fast and accurate printing. However, the search for a model that offers an ergonomic keyboard in all senses can take a lot of time, because of the size and laptops in an effort to achieve the greatest lightweight manufacturers often go on compromises that affect the usability of the keyboard unit. On the other hand, find a comfortable keyboard for a desktop computer is much easier, especially considering that most of them come with a standard desktop variant layout, which is considered ideal ergonomics.Also, a desktop PC may be equipped with a screen diagonal of 20 inches, while a typical notebook usually has a 15-17 inch screen. For certain tasks, such as professional video editing and digital imaging, large diagonal is an important requirement, so this kind of activity desktop computer is a more appropriate choice
Service maintenance
The argument, which should not be neglected. Modern desktop computers are so called modular construction, i.e, they are made from individual, easily replaceable and repairable, independent components. Troubleshooting desktop computer takes much less time and effort than in notebooks.By necessity and design mobile PCs are highly integrated systems. Many of its components (such as CPU, GPU) are soldered to the system board, and replacing them is a fairly complex operation that can be performed only by a qualified service center, has a special equipment and tools for repairs.
Security
The mobile nature of the notebook gives greater freedom to use, but at the same time considerably increases the risk of loss, theft or mechanical damage. In a desktop computer no such problems a chance to drop it on the job, and thus damage the hard disk with important information is virtually zero.The same is true about the probability that it will be stolen, forgotten in the park or at the airport.Cost
This is the most controversial argument in favor of a laptop computer. Components of which contains two seemingly identical configurations desktop and mobile usually differ, sometimes considerably.Although a layman, they may be the subject of a direct comparison with the engineering point of view, this can not be done. Most mobile versions of existing models of central and graphics processors, such as less powerful than their desktop counterparts. From this perspective, the mobile Intel Core i7 processor offers performance equal to that of the desktop version of the chip for example, Intel Core i5.For this reason, a direct comparison of prices is not a good idea, and the choice between a desktop or portable computer configuration is better to look for the opinion of a competent professional who will explain the difference between the hardware components to the engineering point of view.
