I am going to have to completely disagree with you on this one airspirit. I rarely use any of my desktops any more; they are relegated to: gaming rig (and I have no time for gaming), file/print server, and test systems. The P4-M notebooks are "fast enough", and I now can carry my office with me anywhere I go. With the new Centino notebooks, 5 hour battery life seems to be the norm. I am not a big "desktop replacement" kinda guy; I like my notebook light and small enough to use on airplanes. I can work or chat or surf from my couch or recliner using the integrated wireless on my T30: this is the main reason that I use it so much. The combination of wireless + lightweight + long battery life means that I can work from pretty much anywhere I want, and I can get work done in the evenings while still interacting with the family in the living room.
