Maybe I can attach my question/considerations here.
In some months, I will likely have to buy a new Mac. Desktop or portable?
In the past, I’ve had both, and I’ve mostly appreciated desktops. Most of the travels of my Macs have been from my home-office to a rented room abroad, or to a vacation place.
Having a desktop and an inexpensive display could have been more comfortable than a notebook. With today's inexpensive TV sets, it would become even easier and better.
I've also needed a notebook when moving between my studio and my clients' studio. But since several years I’m bringing an iPad with me, instead of a Mac.
So, it will likely be a desktop. Hints on the best way to move it when needed will be of great interest for me.
