They use more fragile PCB, drives, and fans that are insufficient to cool the things. They just are not as reliable, and the fact that you carry them from place to place makes them even less reliable. Did you know that most laptops are made by a few Taiwanese companies, and private labeled? Buy a desktop if you have the opportunity, buy a laptop if you must, and I do mean MUST.
