A laptop is a lot more convenient. You can use it wherever you are.
I open mine at home as soon as I wake up, then I use it in the car when I'm going to the office and then in the office I connect it to my mouse, keyboard and monitor. The I use it again on the way home and use it in bed before I sleep.
I never shut it down, it's always on 24/7. It's so convenient to have everything you need or are working on with you at any time.

Your logic that people that only use a laptop would make less money does not make any sense. It would make more sense the other way around. I personally know plenty of people that make a lot of money who only work on laptops. I would even go as far to say that people that do not have laptops would make less money.

I really don't understand the need for a desktop PC. Everyone that works online and travels (and I'm sure 99% of the people do) needs a laptop anyway, so why would you need a desktop PC as well. Laptops these days are powerful enough to replace desktops and you can just connect a mouse, keyboard and monitor, so I absolutely see no need for a desktop, unless you are like a hardcore designer of video editor or something.

I remember back in the days when I had a desktop at the office and a desktop at home and a laptop for traveling. If you have a conversation on one desktop, or someone sends you a file, and later you are on the other desktop you dont have the conversation or file. I know it's getting better these days because most is stored in the cloud, but still, it just not make sense, it's so much more convenient to just work on one single laptop wherever you are. The hard working and rich people I know sit with their laptop in their bed at night and in the morning to finalize deals, they don't wait until they come to the office, or go to their home office to boot up their desktop computer.
