    This argument made more sense 20 years ago. Now there’s a lot more people who just don’t need a desktop.

      idk about that. I have both and I still prefer using the desktop at home because I can get a much nicer performance out of it than connecting an external display to the laptop. Even for ordinary things like watching a YT video it makes a difference.

      people might not need it, but no one who’s not a game developer needs a console either

        “Needs” is a tricky word, here.

        People want to play games. If they don’t need a desktop otherwise, it’s fine to choose a console for games. The number of people who need a desktop is a lot less than it was 20 years ago.
