What is the difference between a Desktop Computer VS a Personal Computer?

Q. Is a Desktop Computer the same as opposed to a Personal Computer? I know a Personal Computer is abbreviated as “PC” but what about a typical Desktop Computer? Does it mean the same thing at all??

    Same exact thing. When you say PC, you tend to refer to a computer running Microsoft Windows, but that’s just a marketing thing.

    Yes it is the same…the only thing different is a desktop sits on the desk or floor or anywhere whereas a laptop is portable! Both would be personal computers whereas would be different if it was a buisness or office computer.
