Well, lucky old You! For me tha laptop has to be the most over rated and over valued bit of gadgetry around. Portable should mean just that, and propper length of time without a mains outlet - and not all trains have them anyway. Your laptop must indeed be an exception as three hours is a much as most people seem to get out of these must have toys. Keyboards are usually total crap too. We've heard on this list that at least one of these beasts doesn't have dedicated page up page down keys. If that's not enough the keys are almost always dead flat with no rake, such is the ludicrous obsession with how small you can make the bluddy things. Human interface? Inhuman more like! I might start to look at these things again seriously when we have totally solid state machines with no hard drive, but until then I'll be quite happy to snear at this "must have". Rant over and out.
