Re: Laptops: Is it a love or hate relationship?
I wouldn't call a 5lb laptop too beefy. When laptops get into like 8lb+, that's beefy  Anyways, I totally dig my laptop. It's a 15" Apple Powerbook and I love it. The nice thing about laptops is you can basically turn it into a Desktop. All you need is a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Even nicer if your laptop has bluetooth. It's nice to be able to just plop a laptop on a table, plug in a DVI cable, pull out a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and have a 'desktop' in 10 seconds. This laptop is about everything for me.. Laptop, Desktop, Media Center. Way more flexible than a desktop, IMO.
