It stands to reason that laptops would be more prone to failure than desktops just from their physical differences. None of those differences favor electronics functioning in a laptop over fixed desktops.
From durability of construction, through thermal considerations, all the way to mechanical trauma laptops are just going to to take a beating desktops rarely receive.
Linux support with laptops is often at issue as well. For these reasons and a lot more I've never bothered with them. Mostly because I like to build my own PCs and laptops aren't exactly hacker friendly that way. Also I've no rationale for all the drawbacks to gain portability.
