Hi,
Craig ... I gave up opinions a long time ago!
I only use a laptop to "augment" the work I do, and that means, when I go to the lake for the weekend, I take the laptop and I can do some typing and writing ... not much else, and it's all I would want to do, over there, since there is no Internet connection at this time (don't really need it!) ... and it gives me an excuse to work the novels and other stuff a bit more.
Other than that, if I had the moolah for it, I probably would get me a big time laptop and walk all over with it? Nahhhh ... not my style!
