Sure they're limited. So are desktops:
Can't bring them living room -> bathroom -> porch -> bedroom (I read in bed)
When the power goes out, you're done. I have a big UPS builtin! I keep my laptop plugged in, but I can unplug when I move around.
Can't bring it on a trip. I use a digital camera. It's nice to got on a family outing & drain & review all the pictures in the hotel at the end of the day.
Email when you're on the road. Web surfing too. Directions, weather, etc are nice on the road.
Easy to store. I can fold it up & put it in the corner when guests come over.
Expensive replacements? Hard to replace too. Hard drives are easy. I replaced an LCD once. You have a point, but if my TV's tube dies, I replace the TV and get a newer one with better sound and a bigger screen......
Linux support problems??? Ok, my winmodem doesn't work. My PCMCIA modem from my last laptop works great! So does my SCSI card. And WiFi card. Sound is great! Everything works just as well as under Windows XP.
