I get a lot of use out of the PRUs on the BeagleboneBlack, I would absolutely get use out of an FPGA in a laptop.

It makes more sense to me to just use the BeagleboneBlack in concert with the FPGA. Unless you have highly specific compute or data movement needs that can't be satisfied over a USB serial link. If you have those needs, and you need a laptop, I guess an FPGA makes sense but that's a teeny market.
