That's why my "unless..." part was quite extensive. I'm not saying that there aren't reasons for laptops as primary development machines, it's just that making them the default or even the only option seems a bit overrated in my opinion, especially for work machines. There's a bit of wish fulfillment in there, as we'd all like to see ourselves as traveling a lot, writing our startup code in swanky coffee shops etc. But in the end, there's quite a lot of sitting around in your (home) offices...
