I really enjoy the luxury of both. I have a MacBook Air that I use when I'm traveling or sick of being at the desk, but 80% of my computing is done at my desk with my Mac Studio. git, icloud, airplay and basically all corporate work happening in office360 means that I'm not really tethered to any one machine.

Why have the desktop? Power. M1 Ultra is a beast, throwing a little more money at a device that isn't going to die because the battery expired or I crack the screen made sense to me. I'm also mostly at my desk, mostly for ergonomic reasons: I hurt _less_ if I'm in a good chair where everything is tuned to my height.

Oh dear, don't tell me about the cracked screen - damaged two in 3 years :( I like the energy efficiency of apple silicon chips, I think they've hit jackpot with that.

True, you get raw power from a high-end desktop/workstation, but cloud services have eaten-up missive chunks of of dev work. MacBook is a good medium (Jack of all trades)
