Laptops are completely pointless unless you need to carry it with you all of the time for work, school, etc. For mobile web surfing we have our phones these days. For gaming, desktops are far better than laptops because they are more upgradeable, easier to service, easier to clean, have better cooling / air flow, etc. Unless you are a college student and/or have a job that requires it, I really don't see the point in owning a laptop anymore. To me they are as outdated as CD players.
