Because consequently it would be called a "desktop" ... and that entitle was already taken ....lol.



No, seriously .... the word "laptop" imply portability, which is what is was originally designed for.

Because they already have a autograph for a "desktop" which generally can't be used on your nouns
You don't fly much, do you?
I don't know, but right now I am on my laptop and it is on my knees! I guess because it is a computer that you (key word) CAN put on your lap if you choose to.
Because abstractly you could put it on your lap, if you don't mind second point burns from the heat.
When you are on the move: train, plane, bus or saloon or you are not seated at your desk, then it become a laptop i.e. sits on your lap.

ok, originally laptops where on earth invented for people on the move about mostly business man/woman. they would use them on their way to work or for business trips on the train, on the bus, on the airplane. Before population used to put these on their laps because in attendance was no other place to put them as technology advanced and the popularity of laptops grew. businesses and transportation companies started to see they could profit from this bright invention ( as they do with every other invention that become popular) and they started to acommodate their consumers with power supply nouns to telephone nouns to network nouns get the picture. for example Starbucks and internet coffe shops. very soon business people pocket them to their offices and used them on their desk, now we use them for everything from work to school to entertainment.
