I am thinking of my next computer. Normaly I build my own desktops but for some reason I really want a laptop (I have only used them for very short times in the office, like installing software for a user). I will leave my desktop as a node on my home network and will use it primarily for storage and the cd burner. I can think of a few pros & cons.

Pros:
1) Portable
2) I can easily take my files to and from work (I have overwritten my work too many times )

Cons:
1) Screen size
2) mouse vs touchpad
3) keyboard size

The cons can be remedied when I am at home by using my existing monitor, keyboard, and mouse hooked to a switchbox. I will add more as I think of them.

Opinions please.

Thanks
Michael
