I know, it's a slippery slope - you have a target figure for dollars
to be spent - get over it. It is way past time that everyone switched
to laptops as their main computer

Why? Desktop computers are faster, cheaper, upgradeable, and more
versatile
in configuration and expansion options.

I agree. Laptops are optimized for one thing: portability. If that's not
an interest to you, laptops are a big loser.
