    for some reason, my hands are not comfortable, typing on a laptop keyboard.

    about the only reason i might want a laptop, is because i can bring it with me.
    I have both.... several, in fact.

    Work laptop - Issued by the office that I almost always bring with me
    Daughter's micro PC - She's still in grade school so she doesn't need a laptop yet
    Son's laptop - He's in college so yes, I got him a laptop
    Wife's laptop - She uses it mostly for Excel and financial stuff

    Everything below is mine:
    Home PC - Mid-tower PC at home with 3 displays for my general purpose use and video editing/rendering
    Workbench PC - Mid-tower PC for hobby stuff in my workshop. It has dual 17" 4:3 displays
    Home server - Mid-tower PC running 24x7 hosting my Plex content, backups, and UniFi Controller
    Vmware Host - Micro-server running 24x7 hosting my DHCP, DNS, and Pi Hole
    Internet Router - Mini PC running 24x7 hosting Untangle

    I also have a couple of dedicated laptops (old ones) that I use as a sandbox to run "questionable" software. One such software is Techstream... a Toyota diagnostic app which came from a questionable source. Another is an Epson ink pad reset tool, also not from your usual software source.
