Because i want a laptop?

  I haven't owned a desktop computer in almost 10 years.

    I'm going the other way. I'm getting a desktop /instead/ of a laptop for the first time in probably 10 or 12 years. The reason? I want the feeling of a "workplace" again. With a laptop, I often felt like anywhere I was, I could work (sometimes even felt like I had to). There wasn't a sense of /place/ attached with work, and I think this has made work a bit less enjoyable and a bit less distinct from non-work. I think of my dad woodworking in his shop when I was a kid. He didn't woodwork at the kitchen table, or the coffee shop. He had a distinct place where meaningful focus took place with intention. I'm going to try applying that to /my/ work again (after all these years), and see how it feels.

      Exactly. My home office is my work area where no one disturbed me. I have my keybosrd, monitors, and my wired connection to the Internet. When I’m out of the office, I’m available for my family. When I am in my office I am “at work”. It’s especuslly important during the summer when both my wife (she works on the school schedule) and son are home.
