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.

Laptops like that are for people that need access to there work at all times and for people that travel for work. A comparable desktop is going to be a larger and a lot harder to move.
