The basic answer lies in the hardware in each and the features they support.
If by "better" you men have greater performance, then Laptops are not "better" than desktops -- given the same hardware and OS versions.
But in terms of other things, except for portability, Laptops are not "better".
Newer laptops tend to overheat much more than desktops even to the point of burning folkks.
Newer ones are not upgradeable. So if you make the mistake of buying one with a small SSD and decide you want a bigger one, you are out of luck as doing any hardware replacement requires prying the laptop open, probably trashing it in the process. But with a desktop, you just open the case and all of the hardware is easy to access and just as easy to upgrade.
Newer laptops are fragile -- we get posts here all the time about screens just cracking when folks have closed the laptop a bit too hard.
And yeah I know, EVERYONE loves laptops -- but I used a custom built desktop every day and would never trade it for a laptop, not even a top-end multi thousand dollar one.

Hello! In many cases, laptops out-perform desktops, when comparing a high-end laptop to a lower end desktop. An example, the OMEN Gaming Laptop 16t-wf000 that costs only $799.99 can out-perform my HP Pavilion TP01-2165z in terms of CPU and GPU power, and even RAM. A lot of the time laptops do have less storage, though. I hope this helps, have a great day! Bye! 😃

Comparing higher-end to lower-end is hardly a fair comparison.
What would be more useful is seeing a comparison of a desktop and a laptop with the same hardware and OS version.
