So, Which should I buy?
Depends on what you want to use it for. If you need portability then go for the laptop. But if you need performance and power and portability is not an issue then go for the desktop.
If you want the desktop then its better to assemble the desktop yourself. You will get a much better config for the same price.
custom building is generally better since you won’t get the bloatware from companies like HP, Dell etc Plus they tend to use cheaper parts where possible to save them $$$ but advertise it as being top spec. For gaming, the desktop would be a better option but the onboard graphics won’t do. Youcan go and purchase a better card, but desktops are usually sealed on the case for “warranty” purposes. Break the seal and its void, which applies to pre-built computers.

I would recommend buying all your parts seperate becaue it would cost you less, and you will be able to choose what you want instead of these pre-made machines. If you have a good knowledge in building PC’s then that is your best bet or you could easily find a professional to build it up for you.
Main thing to know as a sales rep for computers is what your going to be using the laptop for? If your doing gaming or programming you want the faster processor which is the i3 or i5 or i7. If not then you will be fine without a high end processor and get more memory for multitasking and hard drive space.
And you if want help building your own computer then there are plenty of tutorials out there. Yoiu can also come here anytime for help.
Dude if you have enough knowledge to know what parts are compatible and not, then you can easily build a computer. I built my first computer when I was 13… Its literally like grown up legos, the cords are labeled and its extremely easy. The tough part is finding what parts work together, and even that isn’t hard.
