This might be a long entry so

maybe only a view would have the patience to actually read it to the end.^^

These days almost everyone has either their own laptop or a personal computer, and some even both. But for those who haven't been up to date yet with the world's self proclaimed new best friend and are currently thinking of getting one, here are some of the pros and cons of each type of computer. In terms of portability, you can take a laptop almost anywhere as long as you have the proper gear to carry it around with you. On the other hand, a personal computer [PC] is quite the opposite; it can only stay in one place and more or less you would have difficulty in moving it from place to place. From what I've seen, laptops cost more than a personal computer. They are sold at around P50,000 and above while a PC set can go for around P40,000-50,000 or less depending on the brand of its hardware. Their difference in cost is due to the number hardware or parts in a set. Laptops can be bought as a whole while PCs are bought by parts.

When talking about durability, it pretty much depends on the user. A laptop can last a long time if the user is careful enough and the same goes for your PC. However, they differ when it comes to repair. Laptops take longer to be restored. This is due to the difficulty in acquiring parts; parts are considered made to order. Parts for PCs on the other hand are available anytime and in almost all computer stores. Laptops are easily phased out because of all the new models that comes out. For PCs, mostly only their operating systems[OS] are being phased out. Since we're on the topic of OS, most software are compatible with both computers. But for laptops, its memory is only limited unlike that of PCs which can be upgraded.

They differ so much in terms of design. Laptops again change their design as a whole. There's a change in their exterior design in terms of its shape and color. The newest design for a laptop is that its monitor can be twisted and turned into a tablet with touch screen capabilities. PCs change by part or hardware; monitors bocome thiner, keyboards become smaller, and some CPUs become see through.

I have both but personally I prefer using my laptop. I use my PC and laptop for personal reasons. However, I can easily bring my laptop to school and it sure does come in handy sometimes.^^
