I'm trying to decide if I should invest in a desktop or stick with a laptop. I've mainly used laptops in the past, but my ASUS ROG Strix G18 has charging issues due to design problems. It's frustrating because it's a relatively new laptop, and I'm not keen on spending money on another one. I'm tempted to get a desktop since I love big screens for gaming and watching movies. However, my health sometimes means I can't sit at a desk for long periods, and I prefer to relax while gaming or streaming shows. I'm curious if I can make a desktop work from my bed or couch if I set it up properly. What do I need to consider?

Check out having a wireless keyboard and touchpad combo, or you could invest in a lap desk. It can make using your desktop from bed so much easier! I use mine this way, and it's really convenient while binge-watching shows.
I agree with everyone that it’s possible! Also, I've used remote software for my tablet to access my desktops, like Parsec, which lets you game from anywhere in the room. It's pretty cool—I can kick back while still enjoying my games!
Oh, definitely! You can totally set up your desktop to work from your bed or couch. I've done the same by connecting my PC to a TV and using a controller along with a wireless mouse and keyboard. It gives you that comfy couch experience, and you can easily game or watch movies from your bed. Maybe consider getting a longer HDMI cable or a wireless setup if you prefer that ease of use.
If you're mostly going to be in bed or on the couch, a desktop setup can still work—just think about getting a big monitor or a TV mounted nearby. Using a wireless setup with a controller for gaming makes it much easier, too. Plus, if you keep your laptop handy, you can easily switch between it and the desktop whenever you want.
You can absolutely make it comfy! I set mine up so I can switch from my desk to the couch or bed. I just use a nice wireless keyboard and a portable monitor on a tray for when I’m chilling out. Honestly, the bigger screen definitely enhances the whole experience!
