Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Laptop components are often more specialized and compact than desktop components, which can increase their cost. Additionally, the cost of manufacturing and designing a portable device adds to the overall price. The software installed on a computer does not significantly affect its price, and the size of a keyboard is a minor factor in the overall cost of a computer. While laptops can have comparable performance to desktops, it is not the primary reason for their higher cost.
