DIfference in a laptop workstation vs a Desktop workstation

a laptop workstation vs a desktop workstation
I know it depends much about what type of hardware it have but let's say:
Desktop: i asked about specs (still not sure about this) for a pc near 1200-1500 euros
ryzen 5 3600 gpu 2060-2070 ssd nvm2 ram high speed optane (maybe if get in the price)
Laptop:
i7-8750h/i7-9850h 1050ti with 16 ram (2666 mh) 512 ssd [it's about 1k in the shops], if i get a 2060 or 2070 rtx it cost [1.5-2k or even more] same ram and maybe you get a nvm2[but it's portable that's the fact why cost more right?]
i would like to ask what would be better for a workstation? about their prestation, maybe i have to tell more details if it so tell me i try to explain better myself.
I hope someone understand what i mean ahaha.
thanks guys.
I would strongly advocate for avoiding mobile workstations. They are BAD. The use cases, particularly things like AutoCAD and Lumion will drag the system to it's knees, and engineering offices want their staff to be mobile so they keep buying them these laptops for CAD work and then giving them rubbish displaylink-based docking stations that don't work with CAD programs.
If you are actually working for a client, you should be billing them for the cost of the PC you use. So don't cheap out on parts if it improves the productivity.
If you are considering a laptop, you MUST avoid the gaming laptops. Only the laptops marketed as 17" laptops are CAD laptops, the rest are complete rubbish. 15" thin-and-light laptops typically suffer failures within months, and even the Precision 7000 series laptops from Dell are typically under-engineered for using with CAD products and the fans run full tilt on those just like the thin laptops.
