So far, Im loving my 1 month old laptop . But desktop comps are also good. It actually depends on the situation. For example, Im an "overnight-downloader". I leave my computer open overnight when i batch-download torrents for movies, animes, or other files that has a large size. So of course, its not advisable to make a laptop to do that. The chips and circuits inside a laptop is near to each other, so overheating is a big tendency.
