If you have a normal laptop when it fails you can take a screw driver and put the SSD of the broken machine into another functioning computer, and in 10 minutes you are continuing you work where you left it.
That is more convenient than having to move to another PC, install the OS, all the software that you need, copy the data from somewhere, a procedure that takes a couple of hours.
And of course with a normal computer when you send your PC to service you can take out the SSD so the service personal cannot see your private data and so you can continue to work with another computer while you wait for the other to be repaired.
