Everyone has a different limit :-) For myself, I can't see carrying anything larger than 12.1", and that's pushing it when you consider how unwieldy it is on a plane. One advantage I hear from people with Toshiba 300s and Sharp Widenotes is that the "landscape" style display is easier to use in cramped sitting areas. I think when you get into 14.1" and 15" displays, we're regressing back to the day of the luggables. Regressing seems to be the order of the day. The Toshiba Libretto's display is even smaller than the one on my old IBM 510, and I remember everyone jumping for joy when such small displays were discontinued. Now, people are lining up to spend two grand on systems with them! I should sell the old thing as "retro" or something. epbrown Stop by the Portable Computing Center for reviews, editorials, and the FAQ on laptop computers. http://www.enteract.com/~epbrown Laptops: IBM Thinkpad 560 and 510Cs
