    I have been working 99 percent on notebooks and mobile devices for 5 years now. Before that I swore by desktop PCs.

    Trust me, the changeover is painless and totally worthwhile. You’ll never look back.

    I've pretty much only used laptops at home since 2000, but I wouldn't presume quite so much. Certain groups, like gamers or people requiring old school things like ISA cards, might find the swtich more painful (if only in the wallet).

    Personally, I wonder what the fascination is with multitouch. Sure, for zooming in or out it makes sense, but what else is it good for?

    Specifically, will Windows support it to resize windows from two corners instead of one or to select text by touching both selection points at once? Will browsers support touching multiple links at once and having them all open in separate tabs? Those might be cool uses, but I'm not sure I'd pay much extra for those capabilities.

    What a sweet machine. Rarely use my personal desktop, but feel hampered by my big heavy laptop, and toy netbook I replaced it with. At work I have a really old Dell, slow and basic. I had a contract job a few years ago which gave me an 11" Dell and it was really pretty. I sadly returned it when I relocated. This one (with touchscreen and tablet, good power, graphics and lightweight), wow!
    I wonder what they will charge for that beauty.

    If it's anything like my last couple of Dell laptops you better outfit it with a JerkStopper to keep the AC cord from destroying the power connector.

    This might be a fun device to review especially with the multitouch features. I've been looking to shift completely from a desktop to a mobile platform...
