I cant afford to get both though , unless you buy me one

Cheap laptop, powerful desktop. But if I had to choose, desktop. They are usually more upgradeable and unless your a college student living in a dorm or travel a lot or do business, you really don't need a laptop. Though if all you do is email and word and such...a laptop is fine, or a cheap desktop for that matter. I'm used to having $3,000 desktops for gaming haha.

Desktops usually are faster, have better graphics and sound cards and like I said...you can upgrade them easier. Most laptops your stuck with what you get. You might be able to add more memory or a bigger hard drive, and now they are releasing some PCI slot sound cards to improve the sound quality if you listen to music or watch movies. Laptop speakers usually suck.

no im not a student and I dont really need to move my pc around atall. I just think laptop is better becuase it takes less space?

I mainly use my pc for listening musice surfing the net do online buisness(small) and watching some videos on it, dont even email that often. Maybe every now and then play some games on it, but not really botherd about as I have xbox360 and that toally kick pc ass!

it depends on how much RAM you have.

lol, the way you said it makes it sound like thats something brand new hehe..

i remember one of my first computers, before onboard-crap came as standard, i had this soundblaster soundcard.. that thing wasnt just big, it was about the size of the tri-state area..

Yes but then it's not really portable. You have to carry the speakers around. See the idea behind a laptop usually is portability. But if you want something that has the power of a desktop but smaller to fit in smaller space, then look for a "desktop replacement" PC/Laptop (usually those 7lbs + with 17'' screens) or a small form factor or "shuttle" PC, which usually is a small box computer...almost the size of a shoebox.

No, VERY good is too much good, only 'good' are allowed.

Laptops have at least mic and line out (the magic green contact) so you should be able to connect speakers to it.
