Space saving. Instead of going to the computer because that's where it's  
hooked up to the router, printer, scanner etc. you just use it where you  
want and put it away afterwards. If you do need to use one of those  
items... well the router is wireless, printers can be wireless too or plug  
into the router and if push comes to shove you just take the laptop to  
them and plug them in how many times do you use the peripherals anyway?
