I would say using laptops for long period of time is also pain in the ass.

That's why many people use external monitor, keyboard and mouse.

My wife uses her touchscreen laptop for web browsing at the couch. Using laptop at your lap is quite bad, but touch screen makes it a lot of better.

I've been using laptops exclusively for the last six years, I move around too much to go back to a Desktop computer.
