    Desktop 1000%. They are just more ergonomic in every way. A laptop without a mouse is basically torture. For lots of typing a laptop without a full size external keyboard isn’t pleasant. For viewing anything laptops screens are too small and generally poor quality, so you need an external screen, or better, 2 or more. So now you have a docking station with all your peripherals plugged in to, being powered by a machine that if it were a desktop would be at least twice as powerful and have much longer life through upgradability.

    For the odd task that requires portability then laptops obviously have uses. But I’d rather have a cheap laptop just for that job rather than pretend an expensive laptop is a good desktop replacement.
