Yes we still watch about 30-45 minutes at dinner on the laptop. Usually a show like Dr. Who or Top Gear on Netflix, or Castle when new episodes are on. Some nights we just sit and talk. It's nice. A laptop is plenty of screen if you're just sitting at the table. Also, if you want to watch a movie and get cozy on a couch, put the laptop on a chair in front of the couch and watch. Frankly, I can get more work done and spend more time with my family if I don't have a giant HDTV practically begging to be watched. Removing that time wasting magnet makes a much bigger impact than you would realize. Once you go TV free you start noticing things like how when you visit friends or family TV is almost always on. It's like a buzzing that people get addicted to, but don't realize it. Now I can't even go to many restaurants without there being a TV in there too. It's like a bizarre form of mind control. Also, since getting a Nook last year, I read a lot more, which is nice.
