My bias on computers is the Mac which is generally easier to use and less vulnerable to viruses. But they are more expensive so that is a consideration.

As to whether you need a desktop or laptop that would depend on how you use it. If you plan to take it to the coffee shop or on vacations, then definitely the laptop is better. Otherwise, the desktop will probably give you more bang for the buck and be more reliable.

That's my view anyway after many years of using both PC and Mac technology as well as both laptops and desktops. By the way, I run a Mac laptop and a PC desktop at home.
