Expensive, not easily upgraded, expensive to repair, slightly less reiable.

They cost more. The screen size is typically smaller.

Consider a Mac. My next computer will be a desktop Mac. Virtually no 
virii. Far fewer crashes due to incomplete development. They cost 
more and are worth more. The old argument about software availability 
is no longer an issue; there is more software available than we will 
ever use. The new Macs are cross-platform compatible.
