Laptops in general are quite useless imo...

Sure....The ability to work, communicate and entertain yourself on the go is definitely useless. I mean I could just carry around my desktop and monitor for same effect.

They have more unstable, wireless internet, they cost a lot more and have weaker hardware, they have smaller screens with poorer resolution for my HD TV series and movies and games (not that the GPU's would support top notch graphics anyway) and they can't house more than one internal harddrive (and the ones with big harddrives as default are even more costly and external ones are slower). Basically, it offers everything a stationary can do, only the stationary does it a lot better for less cost, the only advantage it has is that it is mobile.

I don't need movies, games and internet when I'm out to have a coffee or I'm on the train, I enjoy human interaction or simple time away from a monitor. So for these reasons, they are useless to me. Of course, you probably can't grasp that our wants and needs are different since you clearly missed the "in my opinion" part. I'm also one of those guys who don't buy phones for hundreds of dollars to get a slightly less shitty camera and a slew of gimmicks because I want my phone to text and ring, music is best enjoyed on an MP3 player. Maybe I'm hopeless or retarded or just old fashioned but some of these products are completely meaningless to me.
