>Some time ago I got a lot of downvotes for suggesting my company was doing the right thing by replacing desktops with laptops (while keeping the peripherals) so we'd be mobile if needed.

Depends on your meaning of mobile.

Having a office full of laptops doesn't help when most people leave them on the desk overnight and a terrorist bomb goes off and staff are prevented from returning to the (unsafe) building to retrieve said laptops. This is just one business continuity scenario made real in the 1996 London Docklands bombing.. .
