I just replaced a semi desktop replacement laptop. It was nice in the features (CPU, decent dGPU, high refresh screen) but got tired of the huge and expensive power brick. And as I mentioned, the MB just died on me (which could have been caused from the non-rigid chassis or sub-optimal cooling).
The business laptop I got didn't have a nice screen, but for $85 to $110 you can pickup a portable screen that is higher res, higher refresh, and even has freesync. I nabbed a refurbished 16" portable screen that's 1440p decently bright (>400 nits) and has freesync for under $90 at Newegg.
The extra screen real estate is nice for coding.
