unless I went laptop only for my home computing needs, the portable CD burner would be kidna a waste.

Ya nailed it in one. I like laptops. The desktop I have stashed away in the closet would run at 4mhz, if it was plugged in.

I'm with you on the cpu upgrade, except the Wallstreets are wonderfully modular in this reguard. Cpu, L2 cashe, and memory sockets are all on a daughter card about the size of a playing card. Its a transparant upgrade.
