>What? Then get a desktop! I have a desktop, a "serious work" laptop for remote engagements (gets packed up twice a day), and a netbook and tablet for circumstances where it doesn't make sense to deploy the real laptop (airplanes, etc.). It's much more comfortable to work on the real laptop, physically and technically. The keyboard is full-size with a numpad. The screen has a decent amount of real estate at a readable resolution. The battery is big and lasts a long time. There are a lot of ports -- all the ports I need, unlike a MacBook with which I always have to scramble for adapters and hubs, especially so with the "lighter" MBPs. The machine has great specs and a lot of disk space; it's much faster than the lightweight laptops I've used (excluding rMBPs, which are in general fairly decent in raw compute power). It doesn't bother me to carry around a slightly heavier bag than to be stuck without all of that stuff.
