Laptop or desktop?

ksmithGiven that my iMac desktop is officially kaput, I'm considering what to get next. I have a MacBook, which I like, and an old iBook that I hope lasts for some time to come. But I am sure that in the next year I will need a new system, and I'm wondering whether to go with a desktop or another laptop. The two knocks I've heard against laptops over the years are 1) they're slower than desktops, and 2) they're less sturdy. Is that still the case?
At the dayjob, I have a laptop with a docking station, and I do like it. One possibility is to buy another laptop along with a monitor (I already have a keyboard), and use that as my desktop system.
I don't play games, makes movies, or do any other resource-intensive stuff. This is another consideration.
So, comments welcome--do you have a desktop? Laptop? Both? Are desktops going the way of the dodo?
