There's almost no legitimate reason to check for a laptop these days. All systems should enable power management. Handling for internal/external displays is all automatic now. Many desktops have wireless and bluetooth. Detecting "laptop" versus "desktop" today seems a lot like doing browser user-agent sniffing. Just check for the features you want instead.
