Laptops pros and cons:

Pros - it saves space, it has no wires, it has a battery in case of blackout, it's possible to move all around your home.

Cons - if keyboard or touchpad are broken, you can't easily replace them and need to bring it to a technician.

Soon I will need a new computer. Anybody knows any good brand that has long lasting keyboard and touchpad? Otherwise I'm forced to buy a desktop computer, because I can't afford to change computers often.

One downside of a laptop is they're not really upgradeable, unlike desktops where you can replace the motherboard and CPU and keep the rest of the system, which is what I just did--even kept my old DDR4 RAM.

It depends on what you're using the laptop for. These days computer components last longer and longer. Your laptop will be almost as good in five years, and you might be able to stretch its lifetime to ten years, at least if it's not a gaming laptop.

Another downside is for gaming, although if you can get a laptop with 3080ti, .

So even for gaming it can tackle mid-high end.

Cons - if keyboard or touchpad are broken, you can't easily replace them and need to bring it to a technician.

If you're using a laptop for an extended period of time, you'd get an external mouse, keyboard and screen anyway.

Personally I don't travel much, so I have no use for a laptop.
