I have both but the laptop is by far used the most. I like the desktop
for photo editing on a large monitor and a few other things I do. The
laptop is easily moved around with me though and can tinker in the
recliner whil having conversation or watching TV. Right now I'm casting
to YouTube the TV, Scherazade with Leif Segerstam conducting. My
favorite version. Only one I know of with shouting in the last movement.
