In Defense of the Humble Desktop
- Desktop computers are actually superior to laptops, tablets and smartphones when it comes to performance, value, versatility and productivity.
- Desktops are better for rendering 4K video, gaming and running multiple virtual machines; unlike laptops, which cry at such tasks.
- Upgradability for desktops is easy, unlike laptops which become obsolete in three years. You can swap new graphics cards or add a terabyte of storage with a few clicks.
- Tablets have limitations, are less versatile, not good for running professional-grade software or connecting to multiple monitors. They are good only for drawing cute doodles in Procreate or binge-watching Disney+.
- Laptops break often and need expensive repairs, while desktops are immovable and far more stable. Spilled coffee only damages the desk, not the motherboard.
- Desktop gaming rigs provide better graphics, faster frame rates and real surround sound. PC gaming enthusiasts get to mod their systems to make their machine their own.
- Most people who swear by laptops, tablets and smartphones are buying into planned obsolescence. Desktops, on the other hand, are built to last; a six-year-old desktop can be made to work like new with a RAM upgrade or GPU swap out.
- Desktops are flexible and customizable. They can adapt to meet the needs of video editors, streamers, data scientists, and anyone who wants to run their games on ultra settings without fear of crashing.
- Desktops are the ultimate work-from-home tool, with big screens, better ergonomics and more power to handle Zoom calls, spreadsheets and heavy-duty software all at once.
- Desktops stand as a quiet rebellion to a world obsessed with appearances where durability and power take the back seat to thinness and shininess. They are not flashy, but functional.
