[QUOTE="Protomartyr, post: 848040, member: 82599"] Desktops are great for CPU/GPU intensive work (i.e., multiple VMs, GNS3, etc.). Even with mobile workstations, you're still sacrificing some performance for portability. Smartphones can't handle stuff like this. Run a game on a phone for a while, you'll notice it will start to throttle, heat up, and performance suffers. The heat also will kill the overall battery health. Desktops have better thermal/cooling options, better sustained performance, and don't rely on batteries since they are always plugged in. We're a long ways from replacing the desktop in my opinion.
