Ok, so I don't own a laptop and never have. Are you saying, then, that laptops have been unable to do what desktops can do? I was under the impression they were merely smaller computers with pretty much the same capabilities as an averagely-powerful desktop computer.
I've known people to do ALL their work on laptops, so the notion that people don't do intensive work on-the-go is belied by the millions of people who operate exclusively on portable computers. I'm sure market research says consumers are not interested in such things - but business people have been so interested for decades, and I'm sure their laptops operate on par with most desktops.
So with that assumption in head, I also think of tablets as the next version of laptops. Perhaps they are not that powerful today, but when might they be?
