I bought a laptop. I didn't like it. I upgraded it's GPU, cooling system, RAM and added a SSD. I then OCed the GPU. So do I belong to the category of people who buy Jet planes and mod them?

You belong to the category of people who buy a helicopter, and convert them into Jet Planes.

Laptop market lat east in the low and mid range is stagnant. At least that's what my friends working in the concerned companies say. There was a huge boom in sales after win 7 was released and then the market has become stagnant. Why do you think Dell, Lenovo, Asus are slowly making their way in the tablet market?

This is because tablets are next gen to laptops. Laptops in low-mid segment are mainly used by business people whose main concern is portability and battery life. Tablets are way more portable than laptops(in the sense one can use them anytime) so if tablets sufficed for everything than can be done on laptops , these people started using them more leading to the decline of laptops in this segment.
BTW this is not affecting laptops in the gaming segment because tablet gaming industry is not that developed as of yet.

Jesus Christ! This is a ridiculous thread. I'm not sleeping right? I mean I'm awake and I'm reading this type of comment?
The only disadvantage a desktop impose is someone's inability to upgrade at a timely manner and the patience needed to put together the rig by yourself.
Whoever even thought about comparing a desktop and a bloody laptop, well
We who have a desktop, and always will have one over a crap laptop (by crap I mean Alienware and those kinds) are serious people, who don't go to college to show off others look I've this, or game while moving ( seriously people game when they are moving :O ) but game seriously, I mean in a fixed place, a serious gamer doesn't dance while playing or move the set up at a different place, or the professionals, who edit tons of videos and all those kinds.
I see why laptop is being preferred by kids Stay within what you like, discuss about it at length, I don't care, but don't even try to compare something serious with a piece of joke, I beg you.

The former possibly, even Angry Birds will fall 
Some people keep mentioning about the size, and some even play at 25 frames and think it's great
However there's one thing called resolution.

This thread is about "Desktop vs. Laptop" and not "Desktop vs. Laptop + 42" TV".
So desktop is a clear winner when it comes to screen size.This thread is about "Desktop vs. Laptop" and not "Desktop vs. Laptop + 42" TV".
so wait in ur manner of speaking, does the desktop of urs come with an inbuilt screen?
thats a bad arguement
ohh and can u carry around ur desktop everywhere and connect it to any display u wish?

I guess most people consider the monitor to be a part of their desktop system. I might be wrong though. Whereas everyone who has a laptop and wishes to game on a large screen, may not have access to one. A 40"+ 1080p TV doesn't come cheap.

PC is superior to laptops
A laptop is a PC. The word you're looking for is desktop.

I felt like I should have gone for an Ipad instead of the laptop. Not that the laptop is bad or anything but its really an overkill for what I'm actually doing with it. An ipad might have sufficed my needs for half the price
