I'm still not convinced laptops offer a whole lot these days. I ended up selling the 'gaming' laptop because a several year older desktop outclassed it in every way and I just kept going back to it for the higher resolution and oled monitor.
Then the work workstation laptop. Even though it was relatively small compared to older equivalents, it was oddly heavy and basically needed to be plugged in at all times.
They probably come in better than that varieties but its not a car or a house, not that those have any right being as expensive as they are either.
Ummm what? I feel the benefits of a laptop are obvious: being able to use a computer literally anywhere, instead of the one desk your computer is attached to.
I have 2 laptops for work that are both big and heavy, and I don’t love em, but my own personal laptop is a MacBook Air which is small, lightweight and can do anything I’d want from a portable device.
I love layout on the couch with my laptop and coding that way, at least for a few hours a day.
