I keep my laptop around mostly for work, as I like to be able to work in different areas. It is especially important because I am also a student, and it is almost mandatory that you have a laptop in class.
There desktop replacement laptops you can buy, but I've found that they are really noisy, get really hot, and typically have a very minimal battery life. I don't really see them as a desktop replacement just yet, especially since there are very few manufacturers that allow you to swap out video cards in laptops.
Wow, I don't think I can say anything else besides what Jcart covered. He's right, desktop replacement laptops are crap. They're barely portable and most people give up on trying, or get back problems..
Desktop for gaming, intensive applications, etc.
Laptop for work, school, etc.
I prefer custom built desktop and macbook 13" laptop.
