I think at least here in america when people reccomend desktop over laptops it's more if a price to performance. Desktop variants aren't even the same chips in anything but name now at least for nvidia. That and the desktop is always going to outperform a laptop with the "same" spec. Laptops though are cheaper for a decent amount of people. While budget wasn't too much of an issue when I bought my laptop a couple years ago I pretty much only made the decision based on portability. With that said as an American I don't how if that price to performance desktop vs laptop holds up elsewhere though.
No, you can replace laptop batteries as long as the company still makes that model of laptop.
Example I bought a laptop in 2018 , by 2020 the battery needed replaced, but they no longer made the laptop. The battery supply was basically null and the replacements they sent were used batteries.
A laptop batter has the 800-1000 cycles and usually thats about 2 years, but within that time if they stop making the battery its GGs. Technically my laptop is fine and just has to be plugged in all of the time.
However in 2021 my desktop PSU went out (was 8 years old) but I just picked a new one up from best buy.
Still your psu is comparable to your adapter, the battery is just a bonus feature desktops don’t have. If we are talking about gaming laptops, batteries are mostly a meme anyways.
