Han asks:

Why do you want a laptop anyway? If you get a small desktop, it is almost
as mobile for an occasional trip in your car, and MUCH cheaper for the
features.

You're kidding, right? I go to a spot to shoot photos and set up a desktop
computer to review them there? In some cases, I'll be shooting where no power
is available except for what I cart along. A laptop is ideal for that. Even the
smallest desktop I've ever had is a PITA to set up and tear down comparatively
speaking.
