No doubt at all, Desk top computer consumes more power comparative than Laptop.
I hope Laptop... because laptops should have backup too....
Desktop with consumes more power than laptop. but servicing in very costly for laptop even for a minor fault. compared to that power consumption will not be an issue.

For executive laptop is ok, when carrying out, but for home use PC is preferable.
Its DESKTOP......power consumption is more in Desktop due to its monitor.
Desktop will always consume more power, as it has larger hardware configurations.
Laptops are still using same type of HDD(rotating disc type) but compact one. flash drives are now coming with only few models like Apple's Mac Book Air and Some models of SONY.
Laptops have a battery ---- This consumes less power compared to the Desktops....

Desktops consume more power compared to laptops.

Desktop hardware is large. So consumes high power
Yes Desktop consume more power because lot of thing may be attached like speaker, web cam etc and Individual desktop also consume more power.
In my opinion also it is the desktop that consumes more power.If you have both just try for one hour on both and read the metre!!!
The power consumption also depends on the type of desktop and laptop as some are meant for saving power.. But there wont be much difference..however Pc is configured in such a way that it consumes more power..
I think desktop consumes more power than Laptops...
Dear friend,

Desktop consume more power than Laptop. Desktop has separate monitor, Speakers, CPU & other devices.
