It seems that younger generations just dismiss out of hand the idea of using anything besides a laptop. Probably just have no interest in building computers. My desktop is a workhorse. It's on 24/7. A BIG case with great airflow and nearly completely silent. I have a nice laptop that I use rather infrequently. Since all my work in on VMs, I can move my work to the laptop if I'll be using it for longer periods. But that hasn't been the case in a couple years now.

Before that it was all institutional grade Dells attached to budget peripherals. You could take a break after logging in while the computer got itself in a useable state. Their were some labs on campus that had better machines, but you generally had to have a reason to use them. Meanwhile my core duo MacBook absolutely killed it. Now, for personal use I’ve pretty much switched to a workstation that I built as a windows gaming machine, that accidentally works great as a coding and design machine as well.
