They did have a lot in desktop publishing/graphics applications.
While there doesn't seem to be much difference in tech, a new processor with a high end video card can render video much faster then the two year old tech.
Plus, as others have said, you can get a lot more performance per dollar with a tower over a laptop.
I have a work laptop, but for entertainment at home we all have a desktop. Much easier to upgrade performance when new games come out or when it becomes cost effective to upgrade so my wife can edit video quicker and easier. You cant just go grab a new nVidia GTX 1080 and drop it into your laptop.
If all you are doing is streaming Netflix/Prime/whatever or email/Facebook/pinterest, two year old tech is fine.
