The main difference between a desktop computer and a laptop is that a laptop is a mobile device, meaning it can be carried easily and used anywhere, while a desktop needs to stay in a fixed location and must remain plugged in to an electrical outlet. Laptops also typically have smaller and fewer components, making them more portable and lightweight compared to desktop computers. Additionally, desktop computers are typically more powerful than laptops, since they have more space for larger and more advanced components.
