I agree with jinobi. Ideally, for portability I would go with an ultraportable and also have a desktop.

I’ve got to say I probably deviate much from the general pop, but laptops will never appeal to me, despite their portability, UNTIL I am able to play god with its internal parts–the way i can with a desktop.

I practically live off of google though. Gmail, Gcal, G reader, Google docs. If someone where to take my laptop right now and throw it in a river I wouldn’t lose any valuable data because most of it is backed up online and/or somehow integrated into google. I don’t believe in using outlook or other email clients UNLESS you own some sort of business or something of the like that required you to recieve massive amounts of emails that would quickly fill up gmail’s 6-7gbish inbox.

Jinobi, what fan are you using, and are you using artic silver? I was always a big fan of the big typhoon… but never got one myself because I was lazy to learn how to lap it correctly and get that nice mirror finish. LOL i hate fans that are more are designed for aesthetics over efficiency of heat transfer/cooling/whatever you want to call it.
