One other note to the OP is the potential that you decide that laptops are not really for you.

Example: Mrs. DELee has been a desktop person for her entire career and going back further. When she decided she wanted to have more mobile operations, even prior to CV-19, she tried out a number of laptops and was unhappy with the keyboards, the sensitivity of their touchpads, the need to carry, unpack, hook up things like power cords and their attached transformer blocks, mice cables and pads, etc. and then unhook and repack and re-carry everything everywhere. There's also the incessant updates to Windows and all manner of apps that, should you not constantly connect to networks with sufficient bandwidth, affect your ability to plug in and start up and get working/doing/browsing, etc.

Currently she has a laptop that's provided by work but fundamentally, she's given up being a laptop person and goes to work to not have to work on a laptop. She's moved on to smartphone and tablet for her primary personal computing.

FWIW.
