The main advantage of a desktop that you can't get from a laptop with a dock is that they can be a lot faster. There isn't any laptop that gets anywhere close

There isn't any laptop that gets anywhere close to a 64-core Threadripper on threaded workloads. There are some that are competitive with 8-core desktop processors, but then they cost ~twice as much.
But this only matters if you care about more than single thread performance.

- Moru 5y agoIt's also much easier and cheaper to build and repair a desktop in a normal tower with normal parts that you can get in the neighbour store when it breaks down at the worst possible moment (last week for example when the harddrive broke together... or the week before when the memory gave up and computer started crashing... Or last year when one of the other computers graphics card fan gave up) Open up, replace part, boot up and test. Back to work.
