Why a laptop is not likely to be my primary machine any time soon

I know and read a number of people who use laptops as their primarymachines, but I'm one of the people who's not interested in the idea(even ignoring any issues of relative prices). I wound up actuallythinking about the question recently, and as it turns out I think Ihave a fairly odd set of reasons for it.
