>> Why, apart from portability, would anyone want one of these things?
A couple of reasons I can think of:
* Because you don't have space for a desktop. I've had to dismantle my desk=
to make way for bub's things, so for the time being I use a laptop on my d=
ining room table. (No, not ideal, but not all that bad either.)
* You can use them almost anywhere. Plus we have a wireless network set up =
so I can use it anywhere in the house. (That could be deemed a good or a ba=
d thing!)
A tip for when you have to use the laptop's keyboard for extended periods: =
put a book or something else underneath the back of the laptop to raise the=
keyboard to the angle of a 'normal' keyboard (or your preferred angle). Ma=
kes typing much easier I've found.
