Why do laptops suck?

More and more companies in Poland include in their offers "a laptop to work on". This should sound like an additional benefit, huh? I know there are laptop freaks, but hey, lets face it. If you're a developer and you work on place, at your office or home and don't have to go to your client every now and then, the laptop as a workstation will suck.

• With a laptop your screen is physicly connected to your keyboard. This means you can only have your screen as far away as your keyboard. And the orientation modifications of your screen are also very minited. No real way to move it to the side of your desk, just because you got this huge coffee cup.
  
• Even with new laptops having larger and larger screens they're still smaller then new desktop displays. That's not that important though.
  
• With this touchpad in front of your keyboard and trachpoint located somewhere in between the keys, you'll find yourself bumping your mouse cursor from time to time. If you use mouse cursor focus in your window manager (either it be Linux, Mac or Windows, whereever it's possible) it hurts to type your code into the browser address bar, or your credit card number into an email to your boss.
  
• Keyboard layout in laptops is designed to take as little space as possible. This means all your useful keys are probably positioned in a place you wouldn't except them. And you'd loose your keypad. And some people use it for really important tasks (like moving your windows around without mouse).
  
• Keeping your hands ontop of laptop's keyboard makes you feel really uncomfortable. Because of all the heat. At summers it can be a serious disadvantage.
  

Sure, all those issues can be fixed with using external mouse/keyboard/monitor combo. But then, why to buy a laptop and all those? At same price, I'm quite sure, you can get a decent desktop PC or Mac and be happy to use all it's potential.
