I'll never understand people who buy laptops with screens bigger than 12"(max13") . The all concept of desktop replacement makes no more sense anymore even for those who claim not to have place for a normal desktop, maybe the only exceptions here could be students or soldiers bunking up in dorms Nowadays you can buy small cases to plug to your TV or decently specced all in ones and soon even things like ASUS eee K-board. For the price of a decent laptop you can buy a goog desktop and a nice netbook and if you have some more money to invest or (as in my case) if you can make someone else pay for your PC , treat yourself to a vaio TT or something equivalent.
Maybe I don't want to maintain two different machines, or clutter my nice house up with electronic boxes. Maybe I use my laptop in places other than home. There's a tradeoff between portability and a nice big screen, and others on price and specs, and different people will make them in different ways. Dragging my 15" monster between office and home is no big deal; traveling with it is a pain. I'm just trying out some netbooks, and that 10" screen is a drag. A Macbook Air might be nice, but that's not how I roll.

I really only want one machine at any given time..
But I don't care about screen size, I'm all about the resolution and the features.
