have high resolution screens, usually 1280*800 have built in DVD writers
and can do anything that a desktop machine can do. Add to that the lack
of wired clutter between keyboard, mouse, monitor, network etc. Almost
all laptops can connect via a wireless network and, finally the power
consumption of a laptop is typically between 10 and 20 watts whereas a
performance desktop needs a power supply that can cope with 500 watts
and will generally draw between 75 and 125 watts, even without the
screen which itself will draw another 15-25 watts.
Price also comes into it
5 years ago the differential between laptops and desktops was pretty big
with the laptops having a premium of over 100%. This no longer applies,
laptops are as cheap, if not cheaper than desktops, which then begs the
question.
Why buy a desktop??
