Do you use both a personal desktop and laptop? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I'm moreso curious if laptop functions have been offloaded to phones. If you have a full gaming desktop, do you see the use case for an additional laptop? or if most people here don't see the need for the increased processing power of a desktop, do you just use your laptop and a phone?

For myself, I mainly use my desktop, but I have a bunch of quite old laptops for tinkering.

I was exclusively laptops until 2018, then started preferring custom built desktops. But ever since 2021 I've been very much a traveller so after spending 1500 to build a desktop and then having to get rid of it 3 months later to move, I bought a gaming laptop again and still have it 2 years later. Probably just gonna stick to ultrabooks / gaming laptops forever.
