    LOL. I don't know about the cool factor - I have two laptops and a desktop. Desktops are really better value in terms of how much really good technology you can pack into a computer for the price and they are much easier to upgrade. They just aren't portable.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    Ha ha ha, that is funny.

    However the reason why I use desktop computer in the house and nowhere else, is because when I go outside I want to do other things, Gardening, Stargazing, swim in the Columbia river, Picnics, not going to drag computers around town, when I have other things to do.

    I bet you find it kinda funny...as you are doing all these fun things...every one else is glued to their phones while outside.

    I had a desktop many many years ago, but my job kept me on the move all over the world, so I had to get a laptop.

    Have a phone but my teen daughters use it most of the time, me, I am too poor of hearing to hear anyone, couldn't hear any Thunder at all this evening with all those bright lightning flashing all around. Texting is all I can do with it, would not use phone much outdoors anyway, not going to waste my time on it, when there a lot of things to do.

    I do all those things and more, when I am outdoors.

    I have a big problem with my van that will cost a bundle, but after it is fixed, I will take my 18" F 4.5 Telescope out for its first night use will be looking at the Southern Sky mostly.
