Is that actually true? I would think that it would be fairly common for normal people to have both a desktop and a laptop, at least. Or maybe my friends are just too nerdy.

It's far more common for someone to own a desktop and a tablet/smartphone than a desktop and laptop. Forums like this one are a poor reflection of the overall user base due to its users generally being more tech savvy and leaning more towards the prosumer side of the audience rather than the casual "I use my machine for email, paying bills and reading" crowd.

Built back in March after giving up my previous build (5800X and 6900 XT) for an M3 Air. While I did like the Air, I was thinking of turning it into a permanent desktop due to ergonomics and I was missing mouse and keyboard playing on a PS5, so sold them off.

Most people just have one computer, and some folks may have none. When my daughter's were in high school, they received chromebooks - there was no need to have a home computer for school work.

My kid's friend's thought it odd that I had so many computers
