... a laptop is portable .... you can work in front of the telly ... or sitting on the loo.... if you use it on the train ... it should stop you using the *****phone ... while you watch a film ;-)
and you can eat a macdonalds and surf for free
on the down side
you can't waste your time playing the latest games ....
but you can waste your time doing even the most simple tasks
rojash ... don't forget with a laptop you can wedge it under the door to stop it slamming so it's not a complete waste of money.

To be honest the inside of most PC system units is about 70% empty space.
Biggest thing you miss on a laptop is the ability to upgrade the computer. It is very easy to add a new hard disk, or new graphics card, to a desktop PC. This is very difficult with a laptop.
Laptop components are often slightly less powerful than the PC components (hard disks are often slower for example).
Laptop screens sizes are usually limited to 15.4" or maybe 17" if you are lucky. I am using a 22" screen on my dekstop PC while writing this.

Here is a picture of the inside of a PC case, and as you can see, it is mostly empty space.

In fact take out the power supply and it is probably 90% empty space.

true vhg ... like my head ..... empty
but like my head ... the void helps keep my feet cool.
you've only to sit with a laptop on your laptop for a minute or two to realise that things 'aint what they used to be ....certain bits start to warm up ... which in turn warms up certain other bits ....
you could even need one of these

but you'd more likely end up with one of these ...

It would largely depend on what sort of laptop you get, some highend laptops the answer would be very little but you will be paying much higher price to get desktop specs in a laptop, check alienware's laptops
www.alienware.com
If you go for a lowend laptop you will get slower cpu, smaller hard drive, smaller screen, lower power graphics card, but for most non gamer users they would probably be fine.
But it comes down to what you want your computer to do and what you are going to use it for and if you want a bulky desktop computer taking up the entire corner of a room or would rather have a little laptop that can be put in a bag and hidden away when not using it.
Best answer, get both, can't lose then
