Well, the desktop is definitely the faster of the two, if we go by cpu speeds alone.
But you really should look at 8gb of ram, 4gb doesn't really cut it anymore. Even for regular use, 4gb won't leave you with much headroom when the OS can use 2gb by itself... and when ram is maxed or near, everything is going to slow down anyway, regardless of cpu speed.
