If you are talking about rendering Pixar tier scenes they are offloaded to render farms. You can do that work perfectly on a laptop. Anyway at that link you'll find some people using beefy desktops but the vast majority of creative pros use macbooks.

But they are not created on them nor on laptops. The actual work is still mostly done on desktops. People use laptops for sketches, specially musicians.

Well you are wrong. Tell me, what do you do with your desktop beside gaming and watching 4k 10 bit HDR anime?
>specially musicians
Musicians are probably the least demanding of all creatives when it comes to computing power. Even shit like midi keyboards and whatnot work just fine on laptops.

You don't know shit. I'm not talking about soundcloud rappers who produce 8 track midi loops, I'm talking about composers, mixing engineers & bands. Have fun even booting up a 2500 track cubase template that needs 128gb of RAM on a laptop, or a protools session with hundreds of plugins. Or even recording an Orchestra or Band on a laptop lmao..

How many people are doing this? You are claiming the pro desktop market is alive by using such ridiculous extremes. Again, tell me what do you use your desktop for gamer?

>How many people are doing this?
In the music industry? Specifically composers and people who operate studios? Probably more than 75%. This is not an extreme, 1000 track templates are even common for hobbyists and we are talking about professionals here. The only "musicians" who use laptops are DJ's.
>You are claiming the pro desktop market is alive
No, I'm claiming it will not die for a substantial percentage of professionals who need more performance than any laptop will ever deliver.
>Again, tell me what do you use your desktop for gamer?
I'm not a gamer. I'm a hobbyist composer and even 32gb RAM are not enough for me. Not even talking about the importance of real time audio processing performance that even minor projects need which is even more demanding than gayming.

>This is not an extreme,
wtf, I highly doubt that 75% of pros need 128GB or more of ram to do their work.
>No, I'm claiming it will not die for a substantial percentage of professionals who need more performance than any laptop will ever deliver.
It will never die but it is shrinking and will continue getting smaller leaving only the most extreme of pros and with gamers being the vast majority of the market.

I have 32gb on my 2yo laptop and it isn't even special, there are laptops out there with the best desktop CPUs and GPUs. Seriously, what more do you need to compose your shitty chiptunes?
