  depend on ur usage la... desktop although eat more power but workability is better ma.. if u use programs like 3D stuff, laptop can't help u that much..

  oh btw nobody will help you calculate so detail..

  Maximum time i can use mine with battery: Abt 2.5 hrs with weakest performance

  Abt 1 hr with strongest performance

  Generally, it should. But for me, it's the other way round.

  Hmm, let's calculate.

  If you use at home. (6 hrs)

   

  Laptop

  Charge battery + use laptop = 2x power (1hr)

  Battery Use = no use power (2hr)

  Charge battery + use laptop again = 2x power (1hr)

  Battery Use = no power (2hr)

  Estimated use= 4x power in 6hrs

  Desktop

  let's make it 1x power/ hour

  6hrs = 6x lor.

  My calculations are questionable. If your battery is weak, you might have to charge more and more means more electricity.

  This above is an analogy. Doesnt mean it works that way, cause all consume electricity differently.

  Laptops generally use lesser electricity due to it having a smaller screen, different kinds of screens, processors, power plans ect + 2.5inch Hdd.

  Desktops generally use more due to it having larger screen, Speakers that require electricity, a 3.5" Hdd that requires electircity

  Hotter = more electricity used cause energy converted into heat. + fans must work harder. (in some cases)
