It is without any doubt that a desktop is a more economical choice than a laptop. Laptops tend to cost more, break easily and get stolen. In fact, they are the number one stolen item in America. It seem that drug users can sell a laptop for quick cash.
May I suggest that you look at the Desktops at Dell for comparison. But you can get a bargain and get a known brand name at Wal-mart. Look at the HP or Compaq desktops at that retailer. At times, I have seen full systems costing less than $400. One of my customers recently bought a Compaq at Wal-mart with a monitor for only $350.

It all depends on what you want? If your in school a laptop would work best, walmart, circuit city or bestbuy or office max will have good but cheap ones. Not going to school a desktop is good also. I would get a laptop becuase you can take it where ever you go

In general, you will be able to get a lot more Power for your money with a Desktop.
The real question you need to ask is "how important is moblity to you?"
If it is important, get a laptop. If not go with a desktop and save the money.

Depends on how much you want to spend. the more you spend the better laptop or PC you will get. You could always try ebay

Depends on how much you are willing to spend and what you are going to use it for. You can buy some new computers for like $400.

I would suggest Dell. That's all I will buy. They only add things you want and need plus they are quick, offer monthly payment plans, and are ALWAYS there for help if you need it.
