Is a desktop or laptop computer better?

If you’ve known me for a while, you may have guessed that my answer is “why not both?”

Laptop and desktop computers each have their strengths and I use both. With a laptop, you get mobility. That mobility can be across continents or even just between rooms in your home. Mobility is a laptop’s greatest strength.

For everything else, a desktop computer ends up being better:

  • More durable

  • Less likely to be accidentally damaged

  • Less likely to be lost or stolen

  • Can have larger screen or multiple monitors

  • More easily upgraded

  • More upgrade options

  • More processing power per dollar

The list could go on with even more reasons why a desktop computer beats a laptop computer.

I have seen an up trend of people considering and deciding on desktop computers in the last month or so. While I do specialize in ThinkPad laptops, it feels good to see people choosing a desktop computer that is likely to last longer for them and give them more options.

If you’d like to talk more about what kind of computer would be the best fit for you, feel free to give me a phone call or reply to this email. I’d be happy to share my experience with you.

Some characters hidden with asterisks to not reveal the exact email address.

If that’s you, just reply by email and let me know your choice between the laptop or desktop computer. Linux is the recommended operating system, but Windows 11 can be installed (though not officially supported by Microsoft on the ThinkCentre Tiny M710q).

If you didn’t win this month, you are still in the drawing to win in upcoming months. All you have to do is remain subscribed and check your emails from me to see if you won the giveaway drawing and reply to claim.

People from outside the La Crosse area are eligible to win. If you have a United States mailing address, I can ship the computer to you. If you are in the general La Crosse, Vernon or Crawford counties in Wisconsin, I can schedule to deliver the computer right to you.

Here are the two computers that the winner can choose from:
