It's fast as hell, has plenty of mem/cpu (which can be upgraded at any time), 5 button mouse and wicked keyboard. And, with this job I travel alot. When I do, takes me all of two seconds to pack up and get moving.

I do have a desktop as well. Hooked up to the same big ol flatscreen and wireless keybord/mouse. Everything is ran through a KVM switch so I can bounce between desktop and laptop with the flick of a switch. However, my desktop is a gaming rig. I don't do any work on it, just switch to it to kill nazi's and what not.
this was a solution I was thinking about.
standard laptop while traveling and when I reach home I just plug in all external gear as:
wide screen, ergo keyboard + mouse = ergonomics
external 1/2 TB disk = storage

I think that way I can enjoy both worlds.
