Sounds like someone who hasn't heard of the M1 Macs. They smoke all but the beefiest of desktops.
I already invested some money in a laptop last year. not gonna write off a big chunk of that and spend MORE on top of that.
Most of my work is on Linux based OSes. Theoretically I can use a Mac, but I hate Macs. I hate Apple's approach to software (all locked down, but beautiful).
Really like hacking stuff with my OS and I want to be able to replace, atleast basic parts of my computer.
With my current work and personal laptops, I can open the back, replace the RAM, SSDs and even the keyboards (at a stretch).
