I'm wondering with the (permanent?) switch to work from home if laptop sales will go down. I've replaced both my personal and work laptops with System76 Meerkat mini PCs both running stock Unbuntu using Regolith for the desktop environment ( https://system76.com/desktops/meerkat ). They are stacked on top of each other on my desk and take up next to no space. I work from home (and have since 1999) and don't travel fo…

I bought a MacStudio after years of being burned by Apples poor thermals. Turns out there’s basically zero advantage over the current MacBook Pro. Kind of wish I had just gotten the MBP so I could work on the couch or bring it on vacation, although my wife noted she was glad I didn’t have my laptop over the fourth this year.

Lamborghini cars are faster than most jeeps. Facts, does not mean its a overall better driving experience or that jeeps 'simply' are not driveable.

I like your reasoning here but lol at your specific examples. Nobody really considers Lambos or Jeeps as being particularly drivable. Lambos try to kill you and Jeeps rattle your brain.

why?

Ryzen is beating intel quite hard for performance/watt (with the associated heat trade-off too). These are very core to the value proposition of laptops, so it makes sense and directly translates to longer battery and reduced fan noise.

If you only consider noisy cafés with bad drinks and loud people, sure, better not go there. Bit some cafés are very quiet, have delicious drinks and food, good music and are (IMO) perfect for some light to mild-focused tasks.

How the hell are people able to work on a laptop for a long time? Laptops are incredibly non-ergonomic, you are bound to develop neck or back pain.
