What is a desktop PC?

Desktop Definition

The desktop PC has come a long way in size and power since it hit the market in the 80s. In simplest terms a desktop PC is a personal computer that fits on top of the desk. The basic parts include a CPU, a monitor and a keyboard. Obviously, price comes to the top of everyone's list when PC shopping. However, it is important to remember that whatever you skimp on now may come back to haunt you in the recent future. The best PCs are those that offer you the best ability to expand. This might cost a bit more, but in the long run it'll cost you a lot less.
