Ah, extended use I can see, although I'd feel better if they could do
more.

A lot of people use only laptops on their desk, and quite a few are on
all the time when they aren't mobile.

They use external keyboard/mouse/monitor setups with their laptop so
they can avoid having a desktop unit.

It would be interesting to see some data on how long setups like this
last.

Quite a few people seem to upgrade so frequently, they probably don't
care.
