LOL! like it, don't forget the Magic trackpad for a desktop as well, by Apple

No, it's more to do with the fact I can do more with one hand precisely with the mouse whilst keeping the other hand on the keyboard for shortcuts.But you'd also use a desktop too, where a mouse and a keyboard is a standard configuration.
I still need my computer to be portable - I use it more on tables where I can use a mouse, but I do still need to move it around with me.
But yes, I would prefer a laptop with a nicer touchpad to a horrible one.
I wouldn't be able to cope for long without an ultra sensitive mouse plugged in. It speeds everything up, and certain things you just can't do without a mouse. - Gaming for example.
If someone invents a trackpad with the same control as a mouse, that could be used as a full substitute for everything, then sure I will use one. One doesn't exist like that yet.
thats odd i think we both must have ended up on that websiteI thought is logged in to "troll photography" for a moment
Plus i always use my laptop in bed and on my lap, isn't that why i bought a laptop not a desktop???
The only time its not on my lap is if im doing series work, even then its often on my lap, id prefer to use my laptop how i want and have it for a shorter time than worry about its life span and not get full use out of it
How much would you estimate im shortening its life by?? a few months or half a year, cant see it being to much more than that, can you??

If the fans are constantly blocked, it would probably last around 6 months. If it's always on a bed, depending on the make, the amount of use, and a couple of other variables - 6 months to a year or two. - That's an estimate based on what I've seen.
Laptop is a misnomer. They are not designed to be put on beds and laps - the majority of models intake air from underneither - if this is blocked you may find the laptop will get very hot, and shutdown after a few hours of use. - Especially heavy processor use.
It depends on exactly how much you use it, and where, and the design of it etc. But you can significantly shorten the life of it.

It's ok the stereotypical mac user can just afford to buy a new one when it dies
If you do go for the MacBook Pro ...

Wouldn't touch compressed air with a barge pole

Personally, I usually just open up the casing and brush over everything, but that's me.
