I doubt that a laptop has really any disadvantage over a hardware box (which is just hiding a computer inside). I am running Powerbooks for years live. They come with a huge display, and if something doesn't run, you'll also get better support. Though these vst boxes are a medicine for musicians with the wide spread CPD disease (Computer Phobic Disorder). For those with EGCD (Expensive Gear Collecting Disorder) it might release some pain as well... Like everything in pharmacy it has its price, maybe your health insurance is willing to cover it... If these boxes will drop in price below a decent computer/interface combo though, it is eventually considerable, but how should that ever be possible? Think about it...
