Once you get your laptop be sure to do regular backups. Laptops tend to get smashed, drinks spilled in them, or stolen.

A lot of the better laptops support external monitors so when you are home just plug in a monitor keyboard and mouse and it is the same as using a desktop box.

I do Photoshop and light movie editing on mine. A laptop is all I need and I can't see ever going back to a desktop machine. It is truly sweet always having all your stuff with you and being able to work anyplace.

I got the docking station with it. So, when I am in my office, it will be just like a desktop using my keyboard, mouse and monitor. All I have to do is pop the laptop in the dock. The only difference I will have will be that I am using a 1.6 Ghz now (I think) and I am going to 3.2. I also have a few servers on my network with a total of about 500 gigs of disk space. So, I don't have to worry about filling the laptop's HD anytime soon.
