I have a desktop and a laptop but I don't use my laptop at all anymore. I plugged my deck into my TV and use it as a home theatre PC, using wireless game controller and keyboard and mouse.
It's honestly great - the big screen is so much more comfortable compared to a laptop, desktop mode let's you do anything you want and you can sink into the couch and relax.
You could obviously plug youe laptop in the exact same way, although the decks gamescope mode gives it that but more versatility I think.
