I like having a stationary device for browsing the internet. Also, mobile devices have such small screens and the battery dies quickly, so you have to constantly charge. They also overheat.

I also use a scanner and printer, though I'm sure you can connect them via WiFi to a tablet and do the same functions.

I used a laptop from 2005-2016 or so.

Finally got someone to help me build a halfway decent PC after that.

Yeah. Desktop PCs are superior to anything else. No reason not to use one unless youre traveling

I would if the motherboard hadn't gotten fried. Haven't gotten around to getting a new one.

I had a manager at one of my old jobs who outright laughed in my face at the idea of having a desktop PC. "Laptops are good enough" he said.

He was the CTO of a tech company.

Yep, even laptops rub me the wrong way for some reason.

It just feels more grounded/robust I guess, lacks mobility, but makes up for it in other ways. Like far less likely to be dropped, because it's 23 pounds and sitting where it belongs.

My job makes me travel to much for a desktop to be of any use to me. So I have to purchase a gaming laptop which is league's more expensive then.

Not to down desktop gamers or anything but it seems like predominantly a luxury only teenager/young adults with well off parents can fully enjoy. Either that or dedicated streamers and or professional gamers.

It's what I've been using for a good year now along with wireless keys and mouse.

I still have my Vista desktop, but I just use it for image editing, emulating, photos, files and writing.

Hasn't been hooked up to the nets in like 8 months.
