I would argue that the name laptop is the idea of a portable computer setup. If the suggestion is that a laptop is something that is designed to work in your lap, I would argue that laptops aren't designed to work in your lap. If the argument is the form factor (folding, keyboard, screen, mouse), then sure, fine. You can call iPads laptops.

You could argue that something "truly" designed for lapwork would better deserve the name laptop, but it's just weird to say that something completely unusable in your lap should be called a laptop.
