I've used both long term. Your best, most comfortable option when working at a desk is always to use external devices (display, keyboard, mouse/trackpad). Otherwise you're forced to hunch over or remain in overextended positions. Mac hardware is very high quality, and my experiences with their external keyboard, mouse, trackpad have always been positive. I've also enjoyed using Logitech's solar keyboard (https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-solar-keyboard-k750-mac https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-solar-keyboa...). I like never having to charge it. They used to also have a smaller version (no keypad) but it looks like they don't sell it anymore. Using a laptop by itself is only nice when you're on a couch or bed or something similar that allows you a lot of freedom to change position.
