I went desktop in 2017 (built it myself with parts from Microcenter) after 3 MacBook Pros had issues around the 3-4 year mark. Each of those were paid to be fixed by AppleCare or American Express, but having your primary work computer serviced with a 2-3 day delay was disruptive. Now I have my desktop and two working laptops (one of those being the aging and repaired MacBook Pro). Very happy that I can go and buy any part I might need to replace in this system locally and get back up and running quickly.
