I have recently been contemplating on getting a Mac mini for personal use. Before then I have been using laptops.<p>I mentioned my desire to a friend who strongly argued for laptops, saying that you can make it like a desktop at home by adding monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc and still have it portable.<p>What is the HN community&#x27;s opinion on the matter? I would really like to know what benefits have been perceived from just having a desktop opposed to a laptop&#x2F;desktop hybrid.<p>* I understand that there are specs to also consider, but I&#x27;m more interested in people&#x27;s personal opinions, rather than the specs. Thanks
