The average person doesn't draft proposals and presentations on any type of computer, so that argument flies out the window for most people. Not sure what you run, but most people can get by on a low end computer; be it a desktop, laptop, netbook, or a tablet.
Before I picked up my current desktop, I used my netbook exclusively as my only computer for over 8 months. I hooked up a keyboard, mouse, and a 22" display. Then I closed the lid and shoved it to the side.
With that setup, I was able to run Hulu, YouTube, OpenOffice, etc. The only time I felt limited was when I opened too many additional windows while streaming video.
