In general, buying a laptop as a geek gifts is better than a Desktop, except in specific cases where the desktop is a better option, and we will explain the reasons behind that.

If the target person is an employer, a self-employed or a university student, the laptop is certainly a better gift as it allows the user to move around easily outside home to complete their work, studies and research. In other words, it is more practical especially when the user is not usually at home due to study and work. Thus, getting a desktop rather than a laptop as a gift for these people is useless.

If the target person is a kid, a young youth or a graphic designer, the desktop is better for them. Mainly, children use computers for playing games and they will not need to use it outside home. Moreover, we can avoid breakage by using desktops which may happen when they move with a laptop.

Graphic and motion designers prefer desktops rather than laptops because they usually higher specification compared to laptops, plus they usually use different tools while working such as e-boards and e-pens that connect to the computer via Bluetooth as these tools are necessary to accomplish work quickly. Furthermore, they need to use a mouse instead of the touch keyboard; so they need to sit on a desk to work easily. Consequently, a desktop is more appropriate for them.

Laptop bags are among the laptop accessories that are used always outside home for protection except if the laptop is used in a private car. Moreover, a laptop bag provides capability to carry other laptop accessories as the charger, mouse, headphones, screen cleaner, etc… Also, tablets and other accessories can be carried at the same time. However, there are different types of laptop bags such as the back bags that are usually bigger to carry other stuff like books and cloths; so they are suitable when people need to spend long time outside home travelling or doing other things. Yet, there is a laptop case, which only fits the size of the laptop, to protect it from shocks and to save it from dust; chiefly, it is used for short trips outside home or to keep the laptop clean inside home.

However, the laptop user often needs the two bags together; the large one for being outside home for long periods of time, while the small one is to save the laptop inside the house. Thus, if you notice that the target person has one of them, you can present the other.

The laptop protection cover is an amazing gift for frequent laptop users as it is fixed on the surface of the laptop to protect it from scratches and fractures when it hits any sharp item or falls at close space.

After a long hard day at work, one might not be able to sit at a desk to surf Internet before going to sleep, so a laptop table for the bed or before TV will make it easier for computer lovers. Moreover, medically it is unhealthy to place the laptop directly on the legs. So laptop owners will appreciate such geek gifts as these types of tables are designed especially for this purpose in order to fit the laptop and its attachments. However, avoid getting low qualities because the frequent movement of the table needs a solid and stable material in order to not be damaged after a short period of use. Yet, the price of good qualities tables is affordable and inexpensive.

The Mac Bag is a laptop bag that is made specifically for Mac laptops in order to suit its small size compared to other laptops. Also, Mac bags are designed to accommodate some of the additional stuff that a user needs such as pens, papers and laptop accessories.

Moreover, these headphones enable you to sit away from your laptop, or computer, while eating.

It is common that most computer or laptop owners have external hard disks to save backup copies of their files or to use them as additional storage space. Yet, hard disks are available in different store capacities that might be larger than the computer ones; thus, buying external hard disks to present them for frequent computer users could be a good idea. And it can be offered together with the case of a hard disk in order to save them and move them safely.

It is an additional keyboard with a touch pad that can replace the mouse, and it is used only with a desktop since each laptop already has one.

Sometimes, people use an ordinary paperwork office to work on their laptops or computers instead of buying a special computer desk; in this case, the computer is placed on one side of the desk so the user needs a comfortable swivel chair to move easily between their computer and their paperwork. Thus, the swivel desk chairs are the best geek gift for them.
