I don't see why anyone would want it. It's anything BUT portable.
Do you have a DSi? If you do, then don't waste your time with the same thing that just got bigger.

There are people that carry around laptops, I know, what idiots right?

Nice comparison between a portable game system and a laptop there... I'm just emphasizing how much of a useless upgrade it is IMO.

If you're upgrading from a DSi to an XL then yeah I kind of agree with you.

The screen does really look nice though. I was thinking about upgrading to a DSi shortly before the LL (XL) was released here in Japan, but decided to hold off just for comparison's sake. I wasn't even really thinking about buying one either. When I saw the display units (DSi next to the DSi LL both with NSMB on) I was just like Wow! and that's what made me pick up the LL right then and there.

 

Well I usually have to carry a lot of materials around, so I pretty much always have my backpack when I go to work. The LL does fit into my front jean's pocket if that means anything (I don't have large/baggy jeans either), though I wouldn't want to carry it in there for a long walk.

 

edit: If I had waited for a price drop before I bought my Lite then I never would have gotten one as the Lite has never had a price drop here in Japan, haha. It's the same price as a PSP 3000 (16,800 yen) Nintendo price cuts are usually few and far between.
