Desktop
- more performance, laptop is limited in CPU, Chipset, GPU to avoid heat
- can be finetuned for audio by i.e. disable energy saving which reduces / improves DPC latencies which makes the likeliness for audio drops less, if the CPU cores are quicker available to handle audio processes
- you can upgrade easily mainboard, CPU, memory, SSDs, disks
- you can more easily implement a backup concept by adding dedicated SSDs for OS and User Data, HD for backup (disk images)
- if you take AMD, then you can usually upgrade CPUs without having to change mainboard, because they stick to a CPU socket model for much longer time than Intel. With nearly every CPU generation of Intel you get new socket type and thus need a new mainboard, thats more cost intensive
- if you take AMD then you can use ECC memory which helps for recognize bit errors to correct and thus prevent data corruption.
- In the middle of this year AMD releases very interesting new CPUs, which are produced in 7nm structures. More performance, less heat. They use the same TR4 sockets on mainboards, thus people can easily upgrade. Eventually it only needs a BIOS upgrade from mainboard vendor.
- less heat production compared to Laptop, thus less fan noise
- possibility to deactivate Windows CPU core parking without getting heat issues
- possibility to build the system on your own if you know how to do it, with a laptop it's not easily possible not to say impossible for a normal customer.
