“When I think laptop, I think portable computing. I want to be able to check some mail, sync some music, and basically, go a long time out of the house without worrying about where I’m going to find a free outlet. I’m also the sort who uses a laptop for work, not games, and would rather spend my gaming budget on a capable desktop.

I also understand the appeal of the desktop replacement: a quiet computer that takes up almost no space is something most everyone agrees with.”Here are some more Mobile articles from around the web:

The Tech Lounge couldn’t resist picking one up to review, and you just know they didn’t get the basic model.
