<p>While computer shopping this weekend, we met three young people who had started out with bigger laptops (17" monitors, or even the 15.6" size) and traded down.</p>
<p>One young man is a computer science student who had a big, heavy laptop he kept on his desk and a netbook he carried around with him. I think if he’d realized he was going to be unhappy with the big laptop, he would have gone with a desktop + netbook setup.</p>
