Consumer sales of desktops have been falling for years.

A lot of regular office workplaces moved to laptops+docking stations as well.

People still buy desktops, but it’s a dying breed outside of gamers artists and those with heavy compute requirements

Yeah, and not only that, many of those "desktops" are probably "workstations". We had heavy compute requirements at my last job so we were assigned workstations with dual Xeon CPUs, not standard Intel desktop chips.

Outside of a couple unusual places like that, laptops have been the standard for workplaces over the last couple decades for me.

At my employer that started during covid.

Before that laptops were not quite limited to managers, but they did signify higher status (if not necessarily pay). Today it‘s iPads that signify status.
