I've found myself moving back to desktops lately. The price:performance is astoundingly good compared to laptops. And I've found that my computer just doesn't really leave my desk much. As you mention, the ability to upgrade is also pretty great.
I think the big thing, though is that most laptops are "good enough" for most things. So I don't really mind taking an older laptop the few times I do travel.
- seanw444 3y agoMy desktop is my "supercomputer" for heavy tasks. The philosophy of "supercomputer on the go" never made sense to me. Sure, it'd be cool, but you're limited by battery, heat, and upgradability/expansion. To me, a laptop has always been a temporary subset of your full computing power while you're away.
