True, but then you're plugged into the wall with the computer literally ON the desk. All that hassle of docking/undocking and hauling around all the crap just seems like a waste of time to me. In a work situation, everything I do is in version control, or some external backup. So a notebook doesn't have any special data portability convenience. A dedicated machine at home and office just makes more sense for my purposes.
