What idea? And: desktop--I didnt want one, but my daughter got me a new one, instead of helping me 'upgrade' a laptop-and it's good! The idea: it's much easier to add RAM to a desktop than a laptop!!Though I haven't messed with that yet. My 2 laptops (2019) are what I mainly use. Well, the 17inch one as well as the Desktop are what I USE.  It's easy to go bck & forth--desktop on my desk, and the laptop close to my rocker, lol.
