Hi Derek
Laptops never used to be able to compete with desktop machines in the power
stakes, unless of course you had an awful lot of money to buy a
top-of-the-range effort. Nowadays, they are very powerful, and come with as
much memory as desktop machines.
I still believe, however, that if you bought a desktop and a laptop with
exactly the same specs, running exactly the same software, a desktop would
be faster. I think it probably has something to do with the kind of chipset
that each uses, and power consumption. Even though all the fancy figures
equate to the same spec for each machine, the guts of a desktop are bigger
and carry more clout.
That's just off the top of my head, so someone with more factual knowledge
could answer this question more specifically.

Hi All
what does it mean when we use the term:
"powerful" regarding a computer.
A desk computer is said to be more "powerful" than a laptop
but in what way?
Regards, Derek
