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.

    I have the following at home:

    • My work laptop (2021 MacBook Pro)

    • My personal laptop (2018 MacBook Pro)

    • An old iPad Air

    • My phone

    • Living room PC (Linux, shared)

    • Bedroom PC (Linux, shared)

    My laptops live on my desk and I mostly have whichever one I’m using plugged into my external monitor and peripherals (mouse and mechanical keyboard). The portability of my personal and work machines is nice if I want to sit on the couch or travel.

    The living room PC is hooked up to the TV. My partner and I mostly use it for gaming and YouTube. It’s a few years old but it can handle most of what we throw at it.

    We only use the bedroom PC to watch TV in bed.

    The iPad is for knitting patterns. Previously, it spent several years sitting unused in a drawer.

    My phone is for doomscrolling and spam calls.
