I know what you mean man, my first year of laptop use I was deskbound by an ethernet cable and USB mouse until I got a WiFi router. Now I just rock the laptop in whichever room I please, or wherever I please. It's awesome.
Desktops are good for - proper keyboard and mouse, that's about it. Everything I want to do and more can be done on my laptop. I am not a PC gamer and never will be, so I'll never require a desktop PC. Laptop ftw!
