Laptop VS Desktop

Was having a conversation the other day (as one does) about the pros n cons of desktops and laptops.

Some of the folks hated desktops for reasons like hardware compatibility issues, hunting for drivers, etc. The ones who hated laptops gave reasons like the lack of graphic support for games, slower than a desktop etc.

When I first came to Japan, I became a desktop otaku making many trips to Akiba to buy graphic cards, motherboards, fans etc. I eventually got fed up of maintaining a desktop in 2004 - the amount of physical space it took up and the time required for me to maintain the hardware for the machine turned me to laptops.

This is a pic of my Windows desktop which is retired and will get rid of soon.

Currently have 2 Mac Mini's (one as a home development server, one attached to the TV), old spare Powerbook, a MacBook that my wife uses and this MacBook Pro.

What machines do you have? If you was to be stuck on a dessert island with a Candy Girl, an internet connection and electricity, would you choose to take a laptop or a desktop?
