This is certainly a trend that desktop computers are used less and less. But where you really need a lot of computing power I think that a desktop computer is still the better choice.
Especially since upgrading to a newer hardware generation is possible without problems and at the same time cheaper (since you don't have to buy everything new).

No, that's just you looking in a mirror. I don't see the world through the lens of my own ego, so I don't have to be right, but facts are facts and they are not open to interpretation. Maybe you simply cannot recognise a fact when you see one?
(not to mention the fact that you have no shame in repeatedly defending points you make with ad hominems when your arguments lack any real substance).
Really? Care to point one out? If I call you stupid, that's because you are coming across as such. It's not personal but, again, your tiny, fragile ego can't look beyond that to see the point. Honestly, it's pathetic. It's the way 5 year-olds behave, not grown men. You can call me an idiot 'til the cows come home and I couldn't care less because a) I know I'm not an idiot, and b) I don't care what you think. Why would I? But when you suggest my arguments lack substance, then we have an issue because I've laid it out three f**king times for you.
Frankly, there's no one else here in your age range who has social skills as undeveloped as yours.
And you know that how, exactly? Have we met? No, of course we haven't so you don't know the first f**king thing about me, just as all I know about you is the mindless garbage you post here. You have so little to contribute, so little going on in your life, that you can't even bother with a signature. Or is that because you don't have the courage of your convictions and are terrified that if you were to put some personal info where people can see it that you'd become a laughing stock?
Oh, and the point you're trying to make behind the ad hominem is rather pointless, as failure rates are tested by brand, not by price point.
OK, now I have to assume you are winding me up because you have just agreed with me, although you are probably too caught up with your reflection in your glossy MacBook screen to have noticed.

And case in point. Congratulation.

Calling me stupid rather than forming a reasoned argument. There are plenty of other examples throughout your posting history too.

Your posting history here. It's pretty evident to anyone that reads your posts (except you obviously).

I didn't disagree with you in the first place, I just pointed out that you can't make any kind of analysis at that level as you don't have the data.

Internet forums make trolls of most of us but I have never, in all my time on the net, encountered a statement quite as pathetic as this!

My iMac has a smaller footprint than a laptop plus monitor.

Portability is the only advantage of a laptop that I can see.

BONES · Post by **BONES** » Wed May 20, 2020 7:46 am

And that's a pretty big advantage, don't you think? After all, your iMac, like every all-in-one, uses a laptop motherboard and components, so it is far more like a laptop than a desktop computer. The only advantage it has is a larger screen, which may or may not be worth the trade-off, depending on your needs.

FapFilter · Post by **FapFilter** » Wed May 20, 2020 8:26 am

An imac is also two separate units as you also need a keyboard next to just the screen.
A laptop looks more tidy to me, but of course the larger screen of an imac (or similar computer) is a plus for actually working on it.
And an additional screen for a laptop to overcome the smaller screen size neglects the benefits of looking more tidy.
But if you really need raw horsepower, a desktop/tower unit can't be beat of course. They are also considerably cheaper compared to halfway similarly specced portable devices.

It is thanks bones.

My needs. My preference. My choice.

Mine.

BTW, when I got my first iMac years ago my MBP owning friend scoffed at the 'latoptp components' inside my iMac which struck me as weird of him as for a slim standalone it seemed obvious to me that this would be the case . Additionally, if a MBP rocks, then so would an all-in-one with a good screen and same components.

However, even at the time I looked around and some info said cpu was desktop class. I moved on, as you do.

Searching now I cannot find up to date info. Are all the internal bits of an iMac still (ever?) mobile class, does anyone know?

I doubt anyone else would want it. Our producers here have to edit video on iMacs and they all hate them. They crash and freeze several times a day. They can't wait until we move to our new offices in September, when they will all get new PCs.

This will always be the case, no matter what.
Even if you used the exact same components you can never use it's full power and it will always have to throttle down or disable cores because you simply cannot cool down the components enough in a super slim casing where everything is just a few mm apart.

You can of course still get very powerful “mobile“ technology, but it simply will never be on par with the most hardcore stuff available you could get in a larger box with enough space for proper cooling and not a screen on top of that inside that's heating everything up even more aswell.
For A LOT less money (unless you need to buy Apple) and it will probably also last much longer.
Won't most likely be as sleek looking though.

do you use a laptop and if so... what do you use?
