Hey all,
Im trying to figure out which one I want.. Both computers offer almost the same specs and for the relative close price.. I wanted to know if there is any advantage in taking any one of them over the other? I know one is a laptop and the other isnt, but if they are similar, whats the advantage of having a desktop over a laptop..
