Not quite all Unix machines were desktops. Tadpole made the SPARCbook line of laptops which ran SunOS/Solaris. In conjunction with IBM they made a PowerPC RS6000 laptop for IBM which ran AIX.
They also made the ALPHAbook 1 laptop which initially shipped with OpenVMS. I'm not sure if it lasted long enough to get the planned port of DEC UNIX. At the time I tried to convince my employer to purchase a ALPHAbook for me, but before that decision was made I left never to touch an OpenVMS system again.
