The new MacBook Pro is so powerful that there's almost no good reason to ever buy a desktop computer again.

The laptop used to be a little foldable box with a lot of sacrifices. It ran hotter, its chips were clocked slower to reduce that heat and use less battery power, and its hard drives were much slower. But now, with Apple’s Apple Silicon mobile systems, portable Macs are just as good as desktop Macs. For most people, there’s no reason to buy an iMac, a Mac mini, or even a PC unless you prefer Windows or playing games.
“These new laptops are a huge step forward in what I can do on the go, but they still provide excellent performance and a second monitor where I can save reference apps when I'm stationary,” Mac user and enthusiast thefourthpope told Lifewire in a forum thread.
As mentioned, laptops are almost always less powerful than desktops. That changed last year, when Apple adopted the same M1 system-on-a-chip (SoC) for its MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMac. These machines are equally powerful, so you can choose based on form factor, not capacity.
