I am slightly younger than the lady depicted, and have not been using a notebook anymore for over a month now. 🙄

Well, in the pretty exactly seven years I had my (low-end) one, it was mobile exactly twice.
In November 2019 when it failed repeatedly to download and install the big Win10 update of the time, which (among other servicing) I had my favorite computer store do, and in October of this year, when I brought it to the same store to have them transfer favorites and other stuff from the notebook to the high-end tower. Might be a title contender for "least mobile mobile computer".

Anyway, as far as my company is concerned, on 01 March 2019 I also boarded a boat from the Grey Havens.
And since Olórin certainly wasn't (isn't) stupid, with his "Grey-wanderer" days behind him, I'd guess he would also opt for having seriously more performance per buck provided by a tower compared to notebooks (or any other mobile devices).
