Your operating system will slow down and when that happens, you won’t get the optimal performance from your computer. If you’re working with your laptop while using it on the battery power for example. Plus desktop computers tend to have all their components developed first, while laptop computers lag in development due to size constraints on space within that small device. If we compare desktop computers with laptops, they’re usually faster and cost less per component than laptops. But if portability isn’t important for your needs there are also lots of benefits with getting a desktop computer instead. Laptops are popular among music producers because they give you a lot more freedom to work wherever, even on stage during live shows! If that sounds good to you too then laptops might be worth checking out.
