I'm on the complete opposite boat - I think the laptop experience generally sucks still. Battery life only recently got improved to a great point in the past few years, but performance is still generally lacking. Meanwhile a great desktop lasts longer than ever, is cheaper than ever, and does everything extremely fast. I have a 5 year old desktop that outperforms a lot of laptops out there, including my new Macbook Air & my work laptop (not even a month old), and that desktop pales compared to my half year old desktop (which costs maybe $200 more than the 13" cheapest Macbook Air). I think part of the shift in the market is due to the great state desktops have become as long lasting devices (& thus declining sales), and some of the improvements on more mobile devices - I'm highly skeptical of any call that the desktop is going away anytime soon though, because the mobile experience is still seriously lacking in the sweet spot of performance, battery life, weight, and price.
