Suggestions to the previous questions:

  1. Having a portable computer stationary on you computer desk defeats the purpose of the purchase. You can easily invest less money in a desktop computer with similar specifications or the same amount of money on a top performing desktop PC.

  2. To save space and weight in the portable computers, they are shipping without floppy drives, serial and parallel ports. These components are not as popular as they used to be, but, for some users with an older printer or GPS unit they want to connect will find it limited.

  3. Travelers in other countries may have problems having the portable computer serviced. Toshiba is an example of a company that has many international service centres.
