The only laptop artist I've seen is Pan Sonic, and with them the music was so good, and the sinewaves projection thing behind them so hypnotic, that I really didn't notice that they were just sitting at a table doing something with a computer. To have someone leaping about on stage would have been a distraction.
However, I saw The Young Gods a few years back, which was men standing behind samplers, and that was so incredibly boring that the quality of the music just couldn't save it.
