Well, I have always thought that the makers of desktops (motherboard vendors really) should include a "emergency" battery to the desktop - or that the PSU vendors would make a nice "combo" (nice being nice in price/performance).
As I see it, laptops are compromises compared to (most) desktops. Worse screen (albeit flat), worse harddisk (perhaps not SSD, but less), worse CPU, gfx, keyboard, memory etc. And not mentioning the silly touchpads of course.
Regarding electricity and stability, I am lucky I guess, since we have a most stable network where I live, but the brown-outs are annoying, even if they are few (and the reason for the "emergency battery") really. You doesn't need 20 minutes, one or two minutes would work in many cases...

Hmm, I always disliked this "Speed Limit" of the Light. I wonder if they can repeal that too? I want warp speed!
