The amount of computer enthusiasts is pretty small I would say only a few % of the entire market.

Depends on what you are using it for. mFor the average person a modern computer is more powerful than what they need.

On paper, I wouldn't doubt a laptop can push out similar specs as a desktop.

But I can only imagine how overheated a serious gaming/performance laptop would get without enough space to accommodate for big enough heatsinks or cramming in small fans that will need to spin at insanely high rpms (to make up for lack of size) will be deafening.

On paper, that laptop you posted seems to match up well, but the heavy price tag is quite ridiculous. And no one will actually use the laptop itself without hooking it up to a real monitor. Maybe two. And a standard sized keyboard as well, which just adds more to the pricing. It's basically going to be used as a mini desktop tower with inadequate cooling. So like I said before, the only space a laptop is saving in the end is just leg room under the table.

If anything, I would think tablet/hybrids like the ASUS Transformers are threatening to make laptops extinct in the future.
