Decisions in portable vs not may be a side effect of stability in lifestyle space. Desktop implies desk. And well, a chair I guess. :-) People living in various group houses, moving all the time etc see a laptop as making that all easy. Let alone those living from their car etc etc. Anecdotally, I am fortunate enough to be amazed at friends who want a "gaming laptop" but then have a "nest" on the couch hunched over the coffee table. I keep wondering why they don't set aside a space for themselves when computing. And if you do that, a desktop naturally follows... For me, a desktop, tablet and phone covers it all. And the tablet may not get replaced when it's time is up.
