I have used both desktops and laptops for poker. I never had a laptop until this spring. I work from home except for one day a week where I have to go in to the office for a status meeting. I got the laptop so I could bring my files to the meeting. I really like it for that and don't know how I would get by without it. At home I hook it up to a 2001fp and a wireless keyboard and mouse. At that point if you didn't see the laptop on my desk you couldn't tell the difference between it and a desktop. That being said I don't see the point in getting a laptop unless you need to portability. They are generally more expensive, harder to upgrade, and harder to repair. If you need to portability I would say go for it but get a decent keyboard and mouse to go with it. Either way don't skimp on RAM.
