:-( i use a laptop for performance along with a mixer and saxophone, but i definitely think you have a point against many laptop performers. it's not so much about creating some loops with distortion (although if done well it's awesome), it should be about the fusion of analog and digital technology to make something totally extrasensorial.
volcano! (
http://www.myspace.com/volcanoisaband) is an amazing example of a band that relies heavily on laptop textures, but doesn't let the rest of the music hide behind it. they're amazing.
