Using the laptop's keyboard slows down my typing speed (due to lack of number pad, and close spacing of keys) and also throws me off a bit because of the different placement of different keys (due to presence of functional key & absence of other keys.) However, if you're laptop has a good keyboard, or you are a person who looks and types, then I think perhaps a laptop is nicer, because it always you to be mobile, as in I can pick up my laptop, go wherever I want and start programming.
