| 1197841 | 2011-04-28 02:22:00 | It occurred to me that I use v few of the features on my laptop even thou before I had my PC. Wondering how you guys use them, you can pick more than 1 option. |

| 1197842 | 2011-04-28 02:45:00 | Yeah baby, the lot, thats me..docking, external monitors, projectors, give me speed, and a decent keyboard, i hate point devices, touch pads much better! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1197843 | 2011-04-28 03:07:00 | I like a good balance between speed and portability, but given the choice of only one, I'd take portability - no point in having 8GB RAM etc. to take notes :p | pcuser42 (130) | ||

So long as it doesn't go as far as crappy screen, tiny keyboard, horrible mouse/trackpad and flimsy build quality. |

| 1197845 | 2011-04-28 03:26:00 | I'd expect a laptop to be able to do everything a desktop can do, with the exception of 3d games. Not interested in weight, a steal beam is heavy, a bag of cement is able to be carried with no drama, laptops aren't heavy. If you cant handle 2kg then you're a pussy. |

| 1197847 | 2011-04-28 03:58:00 | Since I predominantly use a desktop with dual screens, I have a netbook instead of a full lappie for when I go away. I can even run my 3D printer from the lappie if I need to but that's usually tethered to an old P4 desktop in my garage | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1197849 | 2011-04-28 04:10:00 | A few sticks of ram don't really weigh anything down :) I would like to see more laptops with 3g. Portability is the biggest factor, that being said I would NEVER buy a laptop with Intel graphics. 3 USB ports and HDMI. Wifi > Ethernet |
