One "movement" on the Windows-compatible front is the "desktop laptop" - desktop replacement laptops that really aren't suitable for travel, but can be easily carried from one location to the next (when compared to a desktop machine). Do not confuse them with laptops, as they are desktop replacements. Basically, a desktop machine that you can hardly upgrade, but has lots of power when compared to a laptop. >> It seems that my LunchTrayDeluxe is no longer the only 17-inch >> portable on the block: > > portable?
