You seem to be insinuating that Linux on a laptop is as good as Linux on a server, but there is no way you actually believe that.
Apple makes the only usable laptop OS these days (now that Windows 7 gave way to iOWondows)

Edit: I also disagree with the comment that OSX is the only usable laptop OS. Linux does require more maintenance overhead, but it's perfectly usable. At my last workplace there were plenty of people complaining about their OSX laptops, both in terms of various problems, and also that their older machines were slowing to the point of uselessness.
Like I said, horses for courses.
Also, Linus Torvalds uses OS X on his macbook air.
It's almost like OSX isn't the One True OS, and that different people have different preferences.
