I travel by plane with it 6 - 8 times a year, and take it out of the office
for client meetings two or three times a month. Usually I just put it in my
briefcase, where it fits pretty snugly. When I use it, it's maybe 75% on a
desk, 25% on my lap.

But one thing that may be relevant is that I almost never close the lid,
except to travel, or the few times I put it in my briefcase. The rest of the
time, it just sits on my desk and when I'm done working, I just walk away
from it, letting it go to sleep with the lid open.

Based on what I've been reading on the list, the fact that I've left the lid
open 95% of the time may be one reason I've never had those "cable thru the
hinge" problems.

Hope this helps,
Brian
