Laptops suck and always will relative to desktops.
Desktops are more powerful, more upgradeable, and have better display and interface devices.
"Having a computer" is a much higher priority to me than going places. That means "desktop" because it means having all the perks above. The most expensive gaming laptop will suck compared to a mid-tier gaming desktop. You can't squeeze the biggest cards and the best cooling or tons of beefy hard drives in a laptop. Laptops are a fundamental compromise to aforementioned "computerness" for the sake of portability, which to me is a bad deal. Anything that offers more convenience (and marketability) will compromise its core qualities. Phones are the next step down that road from laptops.
It would be nice to magically take my desktop to the couch (I don't own a couch but figuratively), bed, terrace, or park, but not as nice as using a desktop instead of a laptop is in every other way. Wireless headphones help though. :p
