Well, here's how I see it.
I want a laptop, and I'm on a desktop right now. If I got a laptop, it'd certainly be much better than the outdate desktop I'm on. However, if one is technically savvy, one can upgrade and expand the use of their desktops, and do so with greater ease than they could with laptops. So I'm on the fence about getting one, but if I do it'll definitely be a Macbook. I might keep my desktop around and fix it up. Somehow.
I'm surprised I haven't replied to this yet. Then again, I haven't been active on quite a few boards.
Anyway, I use a laptop all the time. It's close to three years old now, but it has been good to me. However, I prefer to connect an external mouse and, if possible, a keyboard, monitor, and speakers to give me the whole desktop feel of it while at home. It's just so much more comfortable sitting back in a chair using a keyboard without the monitor being attached to it. Then I can just disconnect the peripherals and take it on the go.
I have one, but it's a few years old and doesn't have a wireless adapter or battery. Now that I have a decent desktop that isn't shared with my brother, I hardly use it. It lewks like this:

I had to replace the screen, so before that using it was like using a desktop with a built-in keyboard and touchpad. :3 |
Okay, I have ANOTHER laptop, cause my sister took mine (She gave it back, but I have no use for it now) So I'm just gonna use my DSi Camera (because I can't find a picture of it online) to take a picture of it
Warning; Huge Picture (Sorry, I couldn't hold my hands still, but you can still see it. Kind of like Jad's)

I own three, but currently have none in the house. Feds are holding all of them. :c
I own an itty-bitty ASUS Eee-PC, 2.6.2 Linux loaded.
I also have a Lenovo IdeaPad S10, black, modded some.
But my newest acquisition is a Dell P.O.S. that refuses to stay alive. I won't even justify it by posting it's model and ident number. :l Don't buy Dell.
I have two: one general-use/heavy-use MacBook (two years old, somewhat outdated, runs OS X 10.6.4/Win 7/Ubuntu 10.04 in a VM), and one light-use/general-use netbook (one year old, pretty decent given its base specs, runs OS X 10.5.8 (I will re-Hackintosh it with 10.6.4 once I get my 8 GB flash drive back)/Win 7).
Most of the time I use my MacBook, but occassionally I use my netbook.
