Hi Saqib,
Why not? I have used these for years, since the Fuji Lifebooks came out,
and mine has a lovely keyboard, and I use it for hours on the train. I
wouldn't like a big laptop on a train, especially if you can't get a table
seat, and have to use that silly pull down tray.
All the best
Steve

I think the reason for people still going for laptops is because they can
handle more rigorous usage. I personally wouldn't want to use a Ultra Laptop
for no more than 2 hours at a time.
