Desktop-pc of gaming-laptop: wat kiezen in 2026?

Desktop of gaming-laptop? In de meeste gevallen levert een desktop meer prestaties voor dezelfde prijs – een laptop wint op mobiliteit.

1) Performance for the price

At the same budget, desktops usually deliver stronger gaming performance.

If value matters most, desktop is generally the best option.

2) Mobility and daily usage

If you travel or move frequently, a gaming laptop may be worth the premium.

For a fixed setup at home, desktop remains the most comfortable long-term choice.

3) Upgradability

Desktops are easier to upgrade over time (GPU, RAM, storage).

Laptops are more constrained, so the initial choice matters more.
