I strongly doubt it, since you can do pretty much 0 work on a laptop, Unless they got about as powerful as a desktop, without burning out within a few years due to poor cooling, then they might, but as of now? a laptop that rivals my desktop, would cost about3 times the price of my desktop, and the heat exchange of the thing would ensure it to melt down within a year.
I do think laptopsare as popular as desktops, but unless you do light work (text, school and such), then no, not even close.
So a supplement to a desktop, for easy tasks, sure, for people who has a job that requires audio or video, modeling, or advanced chemestrythen no, not really, not even close. Heck the desktop I have, is barely cutting it for the programs I run for fun, and games are a big no, since a laptop would be burning within an hour.
People overestimated the laptops for the last 4 years, the problem that they seem to not overcome is: power usage, and heat. So you either have to have a laptop plugged in at all times (in which case the point of a laptop is lost) andit is so small, that the airflow and cooling is really limited, and if anything breaks, they are rarely muduler like a desktop is, and cost a whole heck of alot more to repair.
You can get a goodlaptop ofcourse, one that sort of works decently, but the cost for itis so much more then a desktop with hardwarethat would chew through anything.
