I prefer laptops cuz I like things that can move with me and I can put wherever, not be chained to a desk etc. its basically never unplugged but I dont care, i need to be able to move and also wired printing

Ironically, im most productive on my phone but i like to have a bunch of shit running in the background like torrents/soulseek/multiple audio output apps so i need a laptop to handle alm the non serious stuff

Old man here. Desktop only. Phone is for phone calls, GPS, and camera. Tablet for reading in bed, and light browsing.

I was a graphic designer, I used beast machines, packed with RAM and two big monitors. When I worked on 15GB Photoshop files under deadlines I needed a machine that could push pixels and a color corrected monitor. Never a laptop, obviously.

Also the laptop format is bad for me, because of my vision. I see best with glasses when the monitor is about four feet away, but of course I need the keyboard and mouse closer.
