I remain unconvinced.
What’s next? A sonic fish finder?
Well, with a laptop you can't have someone sitting comfortably in the passenger seat. It looks like crap, is easily stolen, may kill you in an accident or even just during intense braking, doesn't have a touchscreen, they tend to be more difficult to get running anything other than winblows, aren't nearly as flexible in terms of configuration -- you sure can't put one of those 8-camera, mpeg4 realtime compressing, security monitoring PCI cards in a laptop.

Seems like your imagination is pretty limiting.
