I've recently decided to simplify my life by moving away from using multiple computers to using a single laptop. What are the main advantages and disadvantages of using a single computer?

Playing around with my old ThinkPad X220 tonight. This thing is over 10 years old and runs Debian 12 (GNOME) just fine. Also, I forgot just how good the keyboard is on this thing, it's amazing!
I purchased my current laptop a year ago. It’s a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s and it’s been nearly perfect for my needs. I got the model with 16GB of RAM, I should have opted for the 32GB model. My next laptop will have 32GB or more.
Just configured fingerprint authentication on my ThinkPad T14s under Debian and it worked first time. The device is listed as '27c6:6594 Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Goodix USB2.0 MISC'.
After a couple of days using my new ThinkPad T14s, I really like the new keyboard, compared to the keyboard on the T470s. The keys have a slightly shallower stroke and feel more clicky/tactile. I thought it would be difficult to improve on the keyboard from the T470s, but then again, I thought that about the keyboard on my old X220 as well. To be fair, I think they are all good, but I'm really liking this new one.
I have an old Lenovo X220 and it is a fine machine.
