I've always been a desktop guy due to my gaming usage. But over the years my gaming use has reduced to the point I only really need that desktop for one or two games. I've had laptops in the past but not to replace the desktop.
I recently bought a cheap used ex-business laptop (Thinkpad T480) which came with a USBC dock included. What a revelation this is. I upgraded the laptop to 32gb RAM and two SSD's and additional extended all day battery and it runs all my non-gaming needs just fine. Being able to dock it in seconds, use it like a desktop with large monitors - but in relative silence - and then later undock it and take it to the sofa to carry on using it. Obviously I've know this for years but never actually used a laptop in this way before. It really is making me think of selling the desktop and buying a more modern laptop which can play those couple of games too.
I can see why desktop usage is declining.
