Will desktops disappear one day as did the old TV sets?

Have you ever thought about counting how many laptops and how many desktops are in your work place? What advantage desktops are still having over laptops? Screen size, speed and storage capacity would be the few advantages desktops have over laptops. One big advantage desktops have over laptops is BIGGER keyboard, at least for me.

Space was the biggest factor for me when switching from desktop to laptop, after I bought my first laptop and put it on my desk, I was amazed by the amount of space I start to have on my desk. Also cleaning was a factor for me, cleaning a laptop (from outside at least) is easier than cleaning a desktop.

I am not trying to compare the two from technical aspect, for sure desktops are more powerful and easy to upgrade than laptops, but I am talking about comfort and ease of use.

Will desktops use will be limited in the future and laptops will take over for the average user needs?
