Taking your puzzlement at face value...
> I don't quite understand why people have laptops at home if they always use it in the same place.
A lot of people wil be using it from the sofa or generally in a shared space where it's not convenient to have a permanent computer setup.
Those who usually use it in one place may want the flexibility of occasionally using it from the coffee shop or while on vacation.
- onion2k 3mo agoThose are people who don't use their computer in the same place. A laptop is great for them. I know plenty of people who only use their computer sat (or standing) at the desk in their home office. And yet they still insist on buying a laptop. It's odd.
- dcminter 3mo agoOk, I don't know anyone at all who does that. Your friends are odd.
- JohnFen 3mo agoMost people I know who use a laptop do that.
- dcminter 3mo agoThey have it in one place and never ever use it anywhere else? Do you know why?
- JohnFen 3mo agoI don't really know why, even though I did the same for a lot of years. That my laptop never left my desk is why, when it came time to replace it, I finally switched to a tower instead. If mobility isn't a concern, the cost/benefit of a tower is greatly superior. Update: On consideration, the reason I kept buying laptops for so long was that I thought having the option to be mobile was valuable. It turns out, based on my actual usage history, it's not valuable to me at all.
