A comment based on the computers I see on this desk--so not really relevant to the point of the post :(.
Why do people do serious work on a laptop? I mean when they're not traveling.
I'm typing on a laptop now, because I'm away from home. It's frustrating--the keyboard is the opposite of a mechanical keyboard, and the laptop screen is tiny. The track pad is so awful that I turned it off and now use a mouse (the track pad was forever going off and doing something unexpected, apparently because it's in the way and I accidently touched it with the palm of my hand or something).
Yes, I know, I can get separate monitors and keyboards. But if I'm going to do that, why not just have a desktop? I can fix the desktop if the power supply goes bad, I can easily add a second SSD, I can easily add memory. And the desktop is cheaper to replace than a laptop. In my view, laptops are only for travel.
