Why you should still consider a desktop instead of a laptop in 2022

When buying a computer, we all know there are usually two main types to choose from, desktop computers and laptops. In the old days, we all had a common perception that desktop computers were better than laptops in every aspect of functionality. There was only one reason we chose a laptop over a desktop computer, portability. This perception still applies today in 2022 because even though the technology of laptops has improved dramatically, desktop computers will always have more options than laptops in terms of configuration, such as portable cases or long-lasting battery life. So if you need more than a portable computer, then you should consider a desktop rather than a laptop, and here's PC Case manufacturer Tecnomall to tell you why.

 

PC with top performance

Top performance has always been the main advantage of a desktop alternative to a laptop. As the name suggests, it combines desktop-grade performance with a desktop-grade experience for work and play. A desktop replacement laptop is worth considering if you are looking for the best-performing one.

 

PCs don't get hot or loud.

Outstanding performance always comes with the heat and fan noise of a laptop. However, because of its thick PC case, a desktop replacement laptop has more room to squeeze more heat pipes or fans in, which ensures more airflow to move more heat out of the chassis, and you can expect lower surface temperatures and fan noise. Therefore, you should consider replacing your desktop laptop if you have very little heat and fan noise tolerance.

 

It's easy to upgrade

Laptops, such as memory or storage, may last longer if they can be upgraded. However, upgrading laptops is becoming increasingly difficult as the quest for thinner cases forces these laptop brands to solder more, even with all the memory and storage in a new laptop, which results in poor upgradability. However, this is not a big deal for desktop replacement laptops as it has enough space for memory and storage slots, and you can easily upgrade them without hassle. Take the new MSI GT77, for example, which is re-equipped with four memory slots and storage slots for desktop-level upgrades.

 

PC with multi-functional I/O ports

Once again, thanks to its larger footprint, more versatile I/O ports can be found on desktop replacement laptops. Unlike thinner laptops with limited I/O options, you can expect a variety of I/O ports needed for work and play, such as HDMI, mini DP, Thunderbolt, USB Type-A, USB Type-C, and even full-size SD card readers. It also means you can eliminate the dongle or docking station, which is essential for thinner laptops with limited I/O ports.

 

PCs with larger keyboards

Building thinner laptops makes it easy to sacrifice essential travel, resulting in a mediocre typing experience. But as a desktop replacement laptop, it has enough room for more extended essential travel, resulting in a satisfying keystroke. It is also the only laptop you would expect to have a built-in mechanical keyboard. Mechanical keyboards are a standard input device for desktop users. Still, if you want to install a mechanical keyboard on your laptop without connecting an external keyboard, a desktop replacement laptop will be your only and best choice.

 

So if you want a better computer experience, whether for gaming or work, a desktop computer would be a better choice for you. In considering changing your computer, remember to think carefully about it.
