[He watches Stark, genuinely impressed at the kit he keeps on his person. The passion Stark has for his work, regardless of his aptitude, is clear (although it is that aptitude that Finch is measuring).]
Implicitly, portability, of course. You might say size is near-everything. The smaller size of my laptop compared to the desktop you are so skillfully disassembling prohibits it from having a larger processor, among other things. The computer may translate large amounts of data to very small spaces, but it still does require space. As you can imagine, the desktop is also as comparatively easy to repair and customize as it is to disassemble, which can be a great advantage for more demanding work. Excepting the memory and hard drive, all the other components of the laptop are built as one into it, severely limiting any attempt to augment its capabilities.
