If I'm not doing something that requires huge wattage, the only thing a desktop computer does is to force me to sit at a desk 100% of the time I'm using it. Hard pass. Tablets are nearly all toys, and the ones that aren't weigh more and cost more than a good laptop (but with a cumbersome UI). If you want to sit at a desk to work, a laptop still has you covered.
Desktops are a very impractical, niche product these days, they're a Ford F-350 when most people just want a decent hatchback.

Laptops should never be used for long periods unless you want to damage your back and neck.
- mullingitover 6y agoThat's a valid point, and fortunately you can use a laptop at a desk, too. However, the laptop can also be picked up and taken with you if that's what you need to do, while the desktop is stuck at that desk forever.
