Any reason not to use my 13 as my only PC? (alien.top)

Just got my 13 with the 7840 and I'm realizing that even the integrated GPU is more powerful than the one in my old PC, which has an i7 4790k and a GTX 970.

Is there any reason I shouldn't just sell that relic and just run the Framework docked at home? I lose a little desk space, but I'm failing to see why I should keep using this desktop.

If you want a desktop, get a FW16 and wait for the 7800M or better module to be released or buy the 7700M module and make your FW13 into a keyboard or tablet or some other project. There is so much you can do with Framework boards.

Only get/keep a desktop if you are doing insanely heavy CPU and GPU workloads and every second counts.
