HELP - COMPUTER ADVICE

I have checked my settings, and I do have pop-ups banned, but Photobucket must have particularly virulent ones. It covered part of the screen and would not go away, which I reckon is more than a bit off, it is piracy. The ad should vanish once you have seen it.

I don't think Desktop computers will become a thing of the past any time soon gangy5. Many still prefer them (including me). I think it's good that people have the choice between laptops, tablets, desktop and now even 'phaplets' (for those on the go). I hadn't heard of phablets either. I thought I was buying a smartphone. These now do so much more than just make phone calls that they are almost like a small tablet, hence the term 'phablet'. . They have their place I suppose.

If you are happy using a Desktop computer, I'd say there's no reason not to get another. With some of the tablets becoming less and less expensive, many people now have a Desktop computer and a tablet ..or a Desktop computer and a laptop. All can be useful at different times.

For just the choice of one though, I'd personally go for a Desktop computer.

Thank you again for your latest comments. My old computer is still trundling along and I'll put up with it a little longer. Haven't yet decided what it will be!! It seems opinions are a little divided but perhaps more in favour of a laptop!
