Don't be fooled into thinking a laptop with an i7-4790k, a GeForce 980 GTX, and 32GB of RAM is the same as a desktop with the "same" hardware. The desktop will be quite a bit faster simply because it uses more power. Laptops, even mobile workstations, sacrifice performance for power savings. | |
| Sep 28, 2017 at 20:17 | comment | added | harry | thanks a lot.. this is the kind of info I was looking for. my first plan was to get a desktop for this purpose. but I also realized I needed a new laptop as the laptop I have is almost 10 yrs old. so trying to see if i can combine the 2 requirements and get a really good laptop or get a desktop for studies and a cheaper laptop for my personal requirements | |
