What a useful article. I'll have to reread some of the parts to get a better handle on battery life and connectivity, but basically for me, a desktop is the only way to go. Typing, and display. These are the compelling assets for a desktop, in my case. The keyboard (?) on a phone or even a tablet is too small for my fingers. They are not nimble anymore. Also, I require a large display. Right now I'm looking at a monitor that is really supposed to be TV screen. So, ease of use is the main reason I would go for a desktop.
I do love my tablet, but use that mostly for reading at night.
Very good information. Thank you!
