It's not about type of instrument, it's about the way you play it. A shitty player is a shitty player, no matter if he plays guitar or laptop.
As for myself, I have seen many great laptop performances:
Fennesz (2003...wall of noise), Rehberg+Bauer, Tujiko Noriko (just laptop and her angel voice...beautiful!!), Christoph Kurzmann, Oren Ambarchi
as well as many shitty ones:
Fennesz (2005...boring. compared to the first show, he was using guitar/laptop combination), Koji Asano (oh hell, I almost fell asleep), Florian Hecker and, surprisingly, also Vladislav Delay (an endless set with minimum variations) and Jan Jelinek.
