Is it true that a desktop pc can now have a higher processor that a laptop? Higher than Dual Core?

Yes.... Its true. Now desktops have i7 processors too. check PC manufacturer's websites for details.

Of course its true! A laptop only has so much space to work with. Granted we are in the age where we have extremely faster computers but no matter what a desktop is always going to be faster then a laptop.

The best thing about laptop is the portability factor. You are able to sit in your bed and check your e-mail or take it on vacation so you don't miss any e-mails.

Desktop have always been considered as extreme machines and laptop just the less mean portable verion

It will be neat when we get to the point (if ever) when a laptop can out do a desktop computer

thanks for the reply and for that information. well your right about the difference about the laptops and desktop pc.

It'd be great if a laptop's performance can match with a desktop's. Though I don't think we're very far from that step

That is truth. Even laptop can have better config. The main difference between them is price

Yeahh, the price is really different - it depends on your goals

I would wait on i7 as they are still new technology (cost is a lot) but if you want a affordable quad core I would suggest the Intel Q series. They are very affordable!

there it comes, the new i9 processor..
I Preferably use laptop for mobile reason only..

Yes it is true, my computer for example has a Quad Core Processor.

Hi…
I read your problem. So yes it is possible for the desktop pc to have more powerful then laptop. For your desktop I think that quad core will be the nice option. This processor may help you to sort out your problems. Thanks for sharing the post….

it depends on your need..you can configure desktop PC into a higher form so as the laptop..

Desktop PC always up, it can be upgraded also. But laptop will have only few upgrade
