The difference between desktop and laptop is one is not mobile while the other is.

One does not need to be connected to electricity forever while the other needs.

As a Nigerian, u already know the one with more advantages.

I don't know why people keep going for HP in spite of numerous keyboard complaints, screen and battery.

I'm not saying you are using HP but go for a good laptop like Lenovo not those fancy gleaming box of crap.

I'm still using my Zinox laptop bought in 2011, the keyboard is still clear and firm in spite of hard gaming, screen is bright battery has reduced to 1 hour 30mins after 4 years meanwhile my friend's hp is peeling and keyboard is rub off, battery is 2 minutes.

Go for Lenovo or Toshiba or probably Dell,

You need to see the new HP man.. A machine wrapped in gold

If you are able to carry your desktop everywhere you like a laptop then it will be viable option...But since you can't, onus demands that you go for a laptop.

I currently use a two 22inch desktop (hp & Dell)... the big screen monitor is cool.... I will be getting a 48inch bigger monitor next year....

These manufacturers often drop their poorly reviewed models in Africa. Some of them are prone to overheating, which destroys battery life.

A laptop is better because it is very portable. There might be some cases where you will need to meet someone to explain one or two things to you or when you might go to a store that has Gen to use their light.
Re: Which Is Better : Laptop Or Desktop For Programming by WoundedLamb: 5:58pm On Dec 09, 2021
I have both but if I had to chose one, I wouldn't see it as a hard decision to make. My laptop is mobile and rechargeable. That settles it for me.

Depends on what you are doing.

A macbook Pro should meet your requirements in most cases.

Of course you can plug in your device to a larger screen, utilise external keyboard and mouse and so much more.

Am getting serious with programming now though I know python.
Am taking it this way html5 css3 javascript and react then later react native.
Am in css3 now, started last month and I know it will take me up to 6 months.
You have to be disciplined not to give up.
Laptop will last you as much as you take care of it, after all I've seen people selling 10yrs old laptop as belgium.
For portability and easy movement, buy a laptop.
