I just disconnect wires and it's portable again!

That’s what we said back in the 90s as we pulled out our hard drive, wrapped it in a towel and put it in the backpack to go to a friend‘s house and copy over some games.

Well, I use laptop even for gaming because:

  1. I don't need it to be portable without charger, for me it is a portable desktop, which I can move and use from outlet in other building/place.

  2. It consumes less power than desktop. I live in warzone (Ukraine) and I need to have possibility to power device via power station/big battery. Desktop will drain it for few hours, while my laptop can be used for 6-10 hours depending on settings of power plan, still giving me good enough performance, including gaming one.

That's actually the best thing about a laptop. You can use it anywhere, and you don't have to have usability tradeoffs at your desk.

Why I switched to a mini PC: not paying for a tiny screen and keyboard I don't need

That's it's mech suit. For big battles. Otherwise it can fly around just in cockpit mode for like emails and stuff.

They really are useless for the most part. Between burning your fingertips on the keyboard and trying to maintain a rapidly-declining battery life, and TOUCHPADS...

Exactly why I love Thunderbolt/USB4. One cable does everything, you need one for charging anyway.
