One thing to note -- if you do it, get a suitably powered machine and plenty of ram. That will make it more enjoyable to use and you won't be frustrated because it is slow. If you sit in one place a lot, consider that docking station.
There is nothing like the freedom of being able to work in the office, bedroom, living room, outside (there are 3 days a year where this is possible in Florida), etc. I would never trade my laptop for a desktop again.

Oh she is a fast machine
The docking machine is something I may have to look into. This gets a little warm on the legs at times. As long as I don't have to stop reclining though
Cleo you plug it into a big keyboard?? That is one of the things that kept me from getting a laptop for so long. I don't care for the keyboard on this thing but I'm getting used to it.
