Android ICS and Honeycomb allows for your data to be encrypted. Don't use gmail and don't use dropbox for unencrypted files ;) But seriously, the risk of your laptop being stolen or lost is a huge incentive for encrypting it. I feel much better knowing that the worst that could happen with my laptop is that i loose it (stolen/lost/dropped). I wouldn't wan't to be uncertain whether anyone had access to my personal files if it got lost and the data I have on it is more valuable than the hardware (and I'm still a student...). For anyone that is tech savvy I see no reason not to do FDE. Okay, two exceptions. Loosing TRIM support on SSD-drives and travelling to/from countries that feel they have the right to inspect the content of my laptop and that might frown upon the fact that it is encrypted.
