Do you prefer PC or laptop? - eviltoast

I was having a friendly discussion with someone this morning about PC and Laptops for work/education stuff, he suggested that I could use a chromebook for all this stuff and this would be a good idea and make things easier. I strongly disagreed with this, mainly because I hate laptops, the keyboard and touchpad make me angry and my PC does everything I need. Most things are synced to my phone for the rare times I may want to add something while out and about. So I thought I’d come here and seek other peoples opinions on laptops vs pc your needs? also if you are feeling bored and want to head on over to the survey ive linked and fill in a few questions I can more easily gather data to make into fun graphs, which if the data agrees with me, I can shove it in his face or should I be in the minority I can let him have this win.

    Excluding GPU extensive operations a used ThinkPad is so good and cheap it’s incredible.

    Bought a T490 16GB 512GB for 260€ … I think my desktop will be used less and less …

        Apparently the “older” ones like T480 had crappy screens and it changed with, tada! , the T490 generation q. I’m quite happy with mine to be honest. I got a french keyboard, thinking about getting the US one with that Big return key :-D but I’m curious about what your “retrofitted classic keyboard” is (it appears it is quite simple to change the keyboard on ThinkPad)?
