Is a laptop really worth it?

iMacs don’t offer any more ability to upgrade than a laptop and are essentially laptops themselves (slightly more powerful since they are slightly bigger and can dissipate heat a bit better, but use mostly laptop components). If you don’t have a laptop, what are you doing for winter breaks and summer breaks? Do you want to transport an iMac or desktop with you? Etc etc.

I have both, so I know many reasons to go for a desktop (built my own), but it certainly doesn’t make sense in many scenarios. It’s a pretty personal choice, feel free to think for about 15minutes and figure it out for yourself.
