In general, the public is still working on the "newer is better"
theory. Why anyone would want to sit at home and type on a laptop
keyboard is beyond me.

You've got the best of both worlds; put it beside your desk, plug in your
desktop LCD and adapter for your wireless kbd & mouse and you've got a
convenient desktop; unplug it and take it on the road. What's wrong with
that?

Sure, and when it's lost or stolen while you're on the road, you're
out your home system too.
Okay, you can add a keyboard, mouse, AC adapter and display to get
something that functions more-or-less as a desktop. But what I see
are laptops used as-is as desktops with all of their ergonomic
shortcomings.
When, on a TV program or movie, have you ever seen a laptop used with
the external kit?

Not only that, but they also showed breaking into the system with an
