I find that a laptop is ideal for me. I can use it at the library, at home
and on the production floor. I can go from my desk to a conference room
without worrying if the computers in the room will connect to the network.
I plan to purchase a Winbook. 14.1 inch TFT Display, DVD capability, built
in Superdrive, 128MB memory and a 4GB Disk drive. Easily comparable to most
desktops.
