I am also amazed at people who have some ginormous laptop at home that will never move an inch.

I always counted myself as a "desktop forever" person. I always built by parts and even made my own enclosure. I've never owned a personal laptop until a year ago. I spent $450 on a 13.3" laptop (+ $100 to go to 1 TB myself). The three extended tourist trips I took with a small backpack (not a trekking one) would have been unendurable without access to coding and resources.

So now I have a USB 3 hub with DP to HDMI, PD, ethernet and a 7 port USB 2 hub. My laptop connects on a single cable thanks to USB Type C. How much I will still use my laptop portably is unknown.
