I can see that for a slot machine, but a laptop probably needs to do something more than that. Don't you want to run a browser? In this case you're locked into a specific browser version, and if someone figures out an exploit that allows an attacker to hijack your browser you have to replace the ROM.
Or do you only run SSH/VNC/RDP and connect to a desktop someplace else?
