Laptops are more likely to fail in situations where they can't report crash data.

Windows will write out a minidump to disk when it kernel panics and report it to MS later when it's back online.

Well, there goes that theory :-)

What, because they're more prone to catastrophic, accidental physical failure, being less sedentary devices?

I don't think that has anything to do with the results in this paper.

Less likely to be online at the time?
