No one could have predicted the importance of a home office in 2020! With most of us working from home or helping kids attend virtual school, we’re relying on a home workspace now more than ever. And as we all invest in improving our work areas, it’s important to think about upgrading our computers as well.
Laptops are great for convenience’s sake, but while we continue to stay safe sheltering in place, it’s vital to establish a separation between work and play within our homes. That’s where a great desktop comes in. We no longer have commutes, so it’s easy to get used to working in bed, on the couch, or at the dinner table. But wouldn’t it be nice to be able to close the door on work at 5 pm, both literally and figuratively?
Desktops aren’t portable, but in 2020 this might be their best attribute. By ensuring that your desktop stays at your desk, there are immediately work boundaries set. And aside from helping you disconnect, there are plenty of other reasons desktops can be preferable to laptops.
Why choose a desktop?
Though laptops are convenient, desktops with similar parts as their portable counterparts are still proven to work faster and smoother. That’s likely due to the fact that desktops are able to utilize full-size parts, which pack more punch than the smaller parts used for laptops. If you’re looking for a quick and reliable computer, desktops are the way to go.
Aside from better performance, there’s also the important factor of price. Thanks to their convenience, laptops can usually cost a pretty penny. And despite being bigger in size, desktops don’t necessarily come with a heftier price tag.
When it comes to value, desktops definitely win out over their laptop counterparts. And when you need to make an upgrade, it’s much easier — and less expensive! — to make changes to desktops than it is to upgrade a laptop. The same goes for potential repairs as well.
There’s also the issue of comfort, where desktops also have an edge thanks to their full size keyboards and mouse options. Though these things are also possible to use with a laptop, they tend to take away the ease of portability.
If you’re in the market to get a desktop for your home, we’ve rounded up some desktop computers that are currently on sale from top tier brands. Whether you’re in the market for a renewed or refurbished, or maybe a brand new gaming desktop, check out these killer sales:
