i got an HP laptop, windows 7 by default, but i installed windows 10 on it. and, i can say a couple of things. laptops are useful if you want mobility, cause, you never will see, a laptop with 32 or 64 GB of RAM, 4 TB of hard disk, and a 2 GBps network card. of course, this is server specifications anyway, it is possible in a desktop also. if you love hardwares, you may want to have your 1st class computer. so, that's why i can guarantee. i am a owner of a laptop, but, for really faster computing, the best thing is a desktop. cause, a simple dual core work more faster than a laptop with quad core. cause, desktop chipsets are more faster than laptops. well, i dont like this, but, this is how the chipsets works. why, we 'll never know!
