> and since it gave up power for the pursuit of fashion. PC manufacturers with a corporate target market have never stopped selling 'power'. Dell will happily sell you a Precision laptop with quad Xeons and 64GB of ECC RAM. It has the aesthetics and portability of a paving slab but by Jove it has power. They'll even knock-off $100 if you choose Ubuntu... I've seen a few in ${WORK} and they were awesome beasts even beside otherwise impressive mid-tier Latitudes.

A former coworker ran a VMware lab environment of several VMs off his Precision laptop. Being told I could play with the test environment while his laptop was in the building and on was funny. I have two 2.5" SATA drives in my Precision, and I have room for an M2 slot SATA left. And it has three network card slots, effectively. Also, I had to buy a bigger laptop bag for my Precision, and carrying it to and from my car counts as an exercise regimen.
