My level of interest in owning a laptop is nearly zero. :)
Yes, yes, I know, plugs, etc... it just seems very stupid to restrict use based on something as minor as the connection method. If you have a fast enough connection you should be able to run it... the PC industry runs mostly on compatibility. Why can't consoles too? I mean, I can see restricting dialup access, if they will be lagging (and this is NOT a given -- there are current, fully modern PC games which run quite well on dialup.)... but wireless vs. wired? Silly.
