Those are people who don't use their computer in the same place. A laptop is great for them. I know plenty of people who only use their computer sat (or standing) at the desk in their home office. And yet they still insist on buying a laptop. It's odd.

What do you use when not working?

As the question was 'personal laptop'. Your work Mac mini may stay in your office, but electronic device do you use for non-work? Just your phone?

Ok, I don't know anyone at all who does that. Your friends are odd.

Most people I know who use a laptop do that.

They have it in one place and never ever use it anywhere else? Do you know why?

		I don't really know why, even though I did the same for a lot of years. That my laptop never left my desk is why, when it came time to replace it, I finally switched to a tower instead. If mobility isn't a concern, the cost/benefit of a tower is greatly superior. Update: On consideration, the reason I kept buying laptops for so long was that I thought having the option to be mobile was valuable. It turns out, based on my actual usage history, it's not valuable to me at all.
