Short answer no.

I bought a Dell Core i7 4770 based desktop a few years ago and gave my old laptop to my wife.

It has 16GB of RAM and hosts a bunch of VM's running under Windows Server. It dual boots with Windows 10 Fast Ring.

My day to day desktop is an old HP dc7900 Core 2 Quad. It has 16GB and a 250GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD.

I am running Office 365 and UWP's from the Windows Store.

I will replace the old laptop soon for my wife and when the HP dies I will replace it with a laptop or 2 in 1.

I also have a 4th Gen Core i7 intel Nuc that I run as a Plex server.

The Dell desktop also does all the ripping and encoding for Plex. I use DVDfab and Handbrake for the deciding and encoding.

I prefer the power and expendability of a desktop.
