šŸ”— I traded in my MacBook and now Iā€™m a desktop convert
But once the puzzle of ports and peripherals was mostly sorted out, I appreciated how intentional desktop life is. Laptops are great, but their portability made it hard for me to separate work from home.
I have separate laptops for work and home that solve most of this. But having a dedicated place to do personal computing that isn't my home office is appealing. It's mostly the dining table or the sofa these days.

@jamesvandyne Even though I need an external office as soon as possible for my work needs, there is no way I'm going to give up having a writing desk at home. It won't include a desktop ā€” we currently have one and it is more computing than we need for our personal needs ā€” but it will still be an intentional space, albeit with even more room for analogue work.

@SimonWoods Yeah - I wonder if you couldn't get there too with just a dedicated keyboard / mouse / monitor that way you still have the option of taking it to the coffee shop. But also I also kinda like the of idea of forced constraints i.e. you can't.
