I always prefer Desktops since I feel more comfortable playing with them. The main reason I won't get a gaming laptop is price. Another reason would be the lack of accessibility with a laptop, since I can't exactly get in there and configure everything the way I want it, while with a desktop I have a lot more freedom.
Im actually in the market for a NETBOOK. My interest in those reside in size, power save and low cost. I dont need a dvd rom to install my games since there are a lot of ways to do that that dont need a disc. One thing that I would like is a better game chip than the GMA950 that can actually run WOW in the lowest.
Give me the convinience of a netbook with a software to install my games from a networked desktop and swapable CPU/GPU and I'll melt my credit card to get it.
Remember that todays 19 inch notebooks with SLi are not that convenient and are heavy as 4 bricks taped togueter. After all I prefer faster chips to a big screen that I already have sitting on my family room pc.
With laptops becoming more and more powerful, gaming on the go is getting easier, but still isn't as common as desktop gaming. But the main reason I haven't gotten into laptop gaming is I honestly prefer gaming from home. I like to settle down when I game, and there's lots of distractions when on the go, so I feel the experience isn't the same, even with headphones. While my opinions might change as technology improves and becomes more affordable, I'd still commit the majority of my gaming to home.
It's mainly because I would hate constantly upgrading my rig, but also because I like the feel of a controller in my hands
Also, While I respect people who use the PC for gaming, I like consoles for various reasons.

What it all comes down to is price. I feel I can't afford to keep up with PC gaming, laptop or otherwise.

Though, If you were to get a vary good one, you wouldn't have to upgrade so soon
I mean hard costly for a laptop
I think it would be hard to upgrade a gaming PC however

though on the other hand, A gaming rig on the go would be nice
