I personally hate traveling with my desktop setup...

Everyone can probably agree that a desktop is better if you have the space, don't need to move it and doesn't mind a bit higer power consumption. A laptop has some clear usecases to.

Desktop for work, laptop for when I travel and might have to work.

This is all personal but I prefer the compact layout and low travel of a laptop keyboard.

That plus having a trackpad centrally located and a second screen below my main monitor really works for me.

I haven’t used a desktop in 20 years. Horses for courses I guess.
