Desktop components are less expensive in general, so instead of buying a $500 laptop with a competent Intel Atom processor, you can buy a $500 desktop with a powerful Intel Core i5 desktop CPU in it. You can get desktops with screens that are already built in, or they can be connected externally to a monitor.
