I have always been a great supporter of PC over laptop due to ease of upgrades/ higher performance/easy to fix

Work is giving me 12k for a pc/laptop -

Should I get a laptop due to possible load shedding? Can't help but think that I could upgrade my current PC to a monster, however not good if I can't use the thing

What like a possible few hours a week? PC = more bang for your buck.
 
Laptops these days are very close to being desktop replacements, even if portability is not a factor in your decision.

Are they giving you the amount in cash?
 
It's a tough one really.
I'm all about pc but have an awesome design laptop at work but that's 50k +.

Unless your laptop is up to the std regarding specs, ie. GPU, SSD, Ram , etc. ; I wouldn't bother.
 
I are confused. A laptop IS a PC.

Unless you mean an Apple but that's also a PC these days.
 
That makes more sense.

You will ALWAYS get more performance for your money with a desktop. Always.

But then a laptop has a battery and is portable. Depends on what you want more.

Well that depends on your definition really. Technically they have always been personal computers, but they weren't IBM PC compatible until a few years ago when they started using Intel processors like the rest of the world. Hell, even they themselves called the things PowerPC.
 
Get both.

A laptop is needed to work from bed :p

And some light gaming.
 
Work is giving you money to buy a laptop/pc thats going to be used for games?

I want your job, were do i sign up?
