    A desktop computer can be a smart and ergonomic pick if you’re setting up a home office and aren’t worried as much about mobility. Staring into a monitor puts less strain on your neck than staring down into a laptop. You also generally get more power per dollar spent with a desktop than you do with a laptop.
