Laptop vs desktop PC.

Guide: Deciding between a high-end laptop and a desktop PC

Buyers often find themselves in a fix when deciding between a high-end laptop and a full-fledged desktop PC. Modern laptops are now more powerful than ever, often matching the performance of a similar-specced desktop, and they are increasingly being adopted for their versatility and portability. However, desktops still rule the roost when it comes to sheer power and expandability. We take a look at some important considerations that should be made for both form factors and explain the advantages and limitations of each.

Micron, on the other hand, confirms that the RTX 3090 is indeed real and it will integrate the new 21 Gbps GDDR6X modules with 1 TB/s bandwidth.
