I use laptop for work, and I hate it.  I end up adding mouse, monitor, 
and keyboard (because one key on laptop is broken, and it will cost $500 
to replace the whole one-piece keyboard).  With this hybrid work 
schedule, I have to carry it back and forth, along with its power 
supplies, headset, mouse, etc.

I miss the old days.  All your stuffs are at office, and you just show 
up with lunchbox.

As for Raspberry Pi as desktop, I tried and gave up long ago.  Yes, 
laptop is better choice.  Because by the time you add, case, mouse, 
keyboard, monitor, stand, and all proprietary adapters and cables, 
investment in laptop will last you longer.
