Not so much that Gentoo couldn't run well or work well on a laptop.  
It's just a matter of what I use my laptop for and what I use my desktop 
for.  My laptop is something that I need to be "no hassle", or "it just 
works".  However, I love playing with the details too, which is great 
for something like my desktop.  It really just has to do with why I use 
each of my machines.  I am certainly not knocking Gentoo in any way 
either, I absolutely love that system.  You learn so much about Linux 
from managing it and installing it - it would take a long time for me to 
learn that stuff otherwise.  So yeah, no difference in managing, just 
differences in purposes of the systems :)
