I have had a laptop now and have had for a couple of years; I wouldn't be without it. Like you, my office career started out with manual typewriters, then electric typewriters, VDU's and so on, right through to desktop computers.
As Grannyknot says, you can move your laptop around wherever you go, so very handy, and of course, you can still connect to a printer, so that is not an issue.
The only thing I found slightly disconcerting, at first, was that the keyboard is not 'clunky' but as you are a touch typist, this shouldn't cause you any probs, it's just that the keyboard is 'flat', so your hands are level all the time, but you soon get used to it.
