There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

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

Depends what I’m doing.

Working on a document? Sending emails? I can take my laptop wherever, do it in the park and make a nice day out of mundane tasks.

Gaming? Video editing? Nah I want my desktop. I’m fairly tall and hunching over a computer at a table isn’t very nice. I have it set up so I don’t fuck up my body sitting for hours at a time. I also have a 7 button ergonomic mouse that’s not very transportable.

I suppose docking a laptop is an option, but I typically buy laptops second hand so I can’t lose my more expensive hardware because I got stoned at the park and forgot it.
