I can never get any work done on a laptop, it just feels too temporary if that makes sense, like a toy. Plus the keyboards all feel too small for me though the rise in chiclet style keys has made this better. Desktops tend to last way longer and have fewer hardware issues (for me at least) than laptops have.
personally, I have all desktops at home. Love them. They're a lot easier to work on, tweak, upgrade, etc. .vs a laptop.
I was issued a laptop for work, so I use a KVM to switch between the home mac and the powerbook. Both use my 27" monitor, keyboard and mouse. They're both roughly the same CPU-wise, so it feels pretty seamless to swap between the two.
I do have a separate laptop for vacation and all, but we normally end up using phones or tablets when out of town anyway.
I personally have an ancient 2007 Mac Pro thats still running nicely, and can still compete with todays pcs, and I also have a Thinkpad t61 I keep in the living room so I can watch youtube or check email. Though its one of the most easily takeapartable (Made up a Word!) laptops I've ever owned the customizability of my Mac pro is astoundingly easy and I don't feel like I'm breaking it when I upgrade ram or put in a new hardrive. That being said my mom has an HP elite from 2010 that I can't figure out how to get into, which sucks because It's fan is making noise and I need to clean the thing out, but still that things specs are still ahead of current high end laptops. Though at school I need to have constant internet so my ipad becomes my lifeline there.
