I’m moreso curious if laptop functions have been offloaded to phones. If you have a full gaming desktop, do you see the use case for an additional laptop? or if most people here don’t see the need for the increased processing power of a desktop, do you just use your laptop and a phone?

For myself, I mainly use my desktop, but I have a bunch of quite old laptops for tinkering.

That seems excessive and a waste of resources

Laptop. I daresay I’m done with desktops…forever? Likely. As technology moves forward a laptop should have plenty of power and storage to do anything. Of course, software companies will write software that chews up resources to convince you you’re getting your money’s worth.

I can’t work on a phone, too small and constricted with inputs. Not even a consideration, now or moving forward. Fine for social media, but bills, games, and art/design? Nah.

So yeah, I’d say laptops forever, but I’m sure the big tech companies won’t let me.

I have both. I avoid using my phone for anything as much as possible. Even just general internet browsing is an absolutely chore on the phone, I’ve never understood the popularity.

Laptop only. But I almost exclusivly use the laptop in a desktop setup with external screens and peripheral. And for now it’s even good enough for gaming, so there really is no need for a proper desktop.

Use my laptop for everything, need it a lot at uni and it’s beefy enough for desk tasks. Don’t game anyways so I never hit a heavy load.
