Was your disagreement about form factors or processing capabilities? If it was about form factors - your father is in the right, the laptop form factor is terrible for your body in a number of different ways, so if you don't need to move around, you should just get a desktop. (unless you have the money to be able to afford both a laptop and a dock setup (although keeping your laptop docked usually kills the battery, so it's still kind of preferable to get a real desktop)) If it's about processing, you may very well be right - there was an article just yesterday about the M1 Max's rendering capabilities[1] and they're extremely competitive with current desktop workstations. Why not get the best of both worlds, though, and wait for a desktop with an M1 Pro/Max chip? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28994800 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28994800
