A lot of home users have already moved to laptops, but not all. People who are into gaming will continue using desktops, along with all sorts of professionals (designers and so on). I am talking about proper desktops, towers with big motherboards, graphics cards and so on. These machines aren’t going anywhere yet, there is simply no substitute. Most people I know still use desktops in their home offices.

I want to know if there's a huge difference between charging your laptop and running off of battery sometimes vs leaving it plugged in all the time - I sometimes move to my couch or something to do some work, and maybe leaving the charger behind is actually an additional cost
As long as it's plugged in, a charger will waste some power, but when it's not actually charging anything, the losses are negligible
