Weighing a forth as much as a "Desktop Replacement" and having an all-day battery life is massively different.  Laptops are meant to be portable in my world (And most other peoples').  I had a bulky laptop, and then I got a netbook (Which are just as fast at everything but gaming) because i needed to be able to bring a laptop to class easily - my god it was so much better.  Sell the portable-anchor and then get a desktop - You will be much happier because that is clearly what you really want.


Desktops are useless - you can't carry it with you when travelling and it takes up a lot of space. I have a netbook too and it's way too weak for how I use my PC. There's a good reason why you don't get a desktop or netbook for work.


You can make desktops now that are the same size as large laptops, and they are cheaper and stronger as well.  Hell my desktop fits in a cary-on suitcase and it is big enough for CrossFire.

Netbooks have gotten a ton better lately, there are even gaming ones that sacrice nothing (Unless screen size is a problem - sit closer!).
