When, in your opinion, laptops will be as powerful as desktops (If they even will)

Hmm... I dont believe they will ever truly be able too. Because laptops are small and need to be portable. Therfore space is very limited. Desktops dont have to be moved and are much larger. Therfore more space means more space for upgrades. Even if we shrink laptop hard drives down to the size of a finger nail. How many of those could fit in a large desktop. Just my opinion.

I don't think they will ever be, because as laptops become more powerful, so will desktops. In my opinion desktops will always be one step ahead.

If you spend enough money almost anything is possible, and they already are. Those portable computers are called Desktop Replacements.

The fastest Intel® Core™ i7 desktop-class CPUs - in a laptop?!

Our new DRX is pushing the envelope on Desktop Replacement laptops. Now every Intel Core i7 desktop-class CPU, from the Core i7-930 thru the latest six-core i7-980X model can be configured in the DRX. To back up this amazing CPU power, we've added 6 Gigabytes of triple-channel 1333MHz DDR3 memory. With Nvidia GeForce GTX 480M graphics on board, and an amazing three hard drive capacity, the DRX is practically a full tower in laptop form! This model does have the limited battery life and heavier weight common to the Desktop Replacement class, but more than makes up for it in its extreme performance and versatility. If you are looking for desktop PC capabilities that you can easily move from home to office - and look good doing it - the DRX is the Falcon for you.

Whenever a laptop becomes as powerful as a desktop the desktop will increase in power, so I don't think your gonna see them match. Unless you buy a cheap desktop and and an expensive laptop of course.
