"While advancements in laptops have replaced a lot of what made desktops necessary, they're far from out of the picture. Not only is the DIY PC-building scene as vibrant as ever, but prebuilt desktops and new designs are making these PCs cheaper and smaller. A laptop may serve most people well, but there are important reasons to consider a desktop instead. If you don't want to build your own PC, I've got you covered with these prebuilt options I've personally tested."
"First, you can achieve performance not possible on a laptop. For PC gamers, AI developers, content creators, and anyone else who uses the extra power, desktop PCs are still unbeatable in this regard. Even if you don't have a maxed-out system with an Nvidia RTX 5090, you'll still get more performance for the money you spend. This remains true on prebuilt desktop PCs as much as on DIY systems that you build yourself."
Desktop PCs remain relevant because they can deliver levels of performance unattainable by laptops, making them ideal for gamers, AI developers, and content creators. Desktop systems provide more performance per dollar compared with laptops, particularly for high-end GPUs and CPUs. Desktop cases and components also enable easy upgradeability, letting users replace parts piecemeal and leverage a thriving aftermarket for older components. The DIY PC-building scene remains vibrant, and prebuilt desktops and new compact designs have reduced cost and size barriers. For users who do not require exceptional performance, laptops currently offer a cheaper option due to rising RAM prices.
