I disagree that a laptop is useless at a desk. I worked for quite a few years with a laptop as my main work computer. The key is to have a dock, complete with external keyboard, mouse, screen and speakers. I had a dock in my work office and another at home. Whether at the office or at home, I'd plug the laptop into the dock and, for all intents and purposes, I was working at a desktop. The laptop had an i5 processor, 750GB hdd and 8GB of RAM, much more power than these tiny PCs. The advantage to a laptop over a regular desktop or tiny PC is that it could go mobile. It was still a fully functioning computer that I could take to meetings or use on a plane or in the hotel when traveling.
As an additional benefit, I often used the laptop's screen as a second monitor so I could edit source code & compile on one screen, run the program on the 2nd screen to view the results. Very handy.
