Default Computer or laptop?
Which P.C. do you prefer between the two?

I know a high-end computer would be far better for certain things - namely PC gaming - but I've never sought it enough to prioritise one over the convenience of a laptop. Plus the price is too eye-watering.

I use both regularly. Both are useful in the correct circumstances

There is of course another option these days .... a NUC, which has a tiny footprint and is really flexible

I find computers are usually way quicker/easier to navigate/less likely to get virus’ than laptops but laptops are just more convenient/cheaper. I will probably get a computer though opposed to a laptop once I have my own place.

Prefer using a desktop, definitely. Far easier. I have a laptop, though.

When I'm inside I use my computer, it's much better and comfortable to use than having it all crammed together.

TiBB on 36 inches must leave an awful lot of empty space.

Tbf 36" is a bit excessive when you're sat 2 feet from the screen, but yeah... mine's 32" 4k and I just can't handle a tiny laptop screen these days. Plus my PC is my pride and joy - my graphics card alone was £600 .

Also if I do have to use a laptop, it needs to have at least a 17" screen. 15" is hard work and 13" is just unusable.
