I've never quite understood the fashion for laptops - unless you actually
need to carry it around. They are very poor value compared to a desktop -
and by nature have smaller screens and keyboards.

I think the laptop preference for many is because they take up less
'house room' and these days are plenty powerful enough for most
everyday domestic apps.

Funnily enough I noticed those Crayola keyboards in my local surplus
shop this week, 7 quid IIRC, thought they looked ideal for anyone with
less than perfect vision or dexterity.
