I built a small form factor PC for fun, but it's pretty much deadweight.
Having to sit down in the same chair at the same desk for an entire work session is a self-inflicted dealbreaker for me. It made more sense when laptops were so underpowered with such bad battery life. But now, gaming and exotic workloads are the only thing that really justify being tethered to a machine.
If I could go back in time, I'd save that $1000 towards a maxed out Macbook Pro and dual-boot Windows.
