What the hell??
Why pay the incredible premium for a laptop, let alone that of one with a gargantuan (for a laptop) screen, if you're not going to exploit its portability? For crying out loud, why put up with a laptop keyboard if you don't have to?
I know quite some people that buy a laptop simply because it doesn't take up an entire table. They take out the computer from the cupboard, use it for a while, then store it away again. Neat.
Perhaps Randall has missed the fact that Laptops outsell desktops these days. It would seem a LOT of people opt for a laptops over desktops. The premium also buys portability options, even if you just want to move to the couch. And there is no problem putting up with a laptop keyboard. The problem comes from trying to switch back and forth from one keyboard to another. -- ----------JSA--------- Someone stole my tag line, so now I have this rental. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
