The one person I am thinking of is the reason I won't buy a certain brand of computer. They talked the person into a low end Ram and Memory for 3 times the price that computer sold for at Best Buy. They also told this person 2 computers back that laptops are only for travel.

Well, my mother used to have a laptop, but she moved it from her desk exactly two or three times a year, and that only during out-of-state travel.
Seems she
prefers doing things at her desk.
Now she has a desktop that cost no more than a laptop of comparable quality would, with the additional benefit that in a couple years, I can upgrade parts for her, at considerably less than the cost of a new computer.
She has not noticed any difference in her usage patterns.
I suppose it helps for traveling that she finally got a smartphone.
Oh, yes, and the bigger screen which is more enjoyable when streaming Hulu/Netflix/etc.
