Ok, it's an old chestnut, and, I know, you just _lurv_ your laptop Ahmad,
but what do you see in them? My partner has one. It was awkward loading
and using portable EMIS, the modem sometimes doesn't work, the screen
refresh is slow, I can't download all the practice patients onto it for home
visits without locking out their records, it's not pocketable, but above all
it's easily breakable and an obvious theft target.
So come on Ten _GOOD_ reasons why..... ;-)

Notebook computers.
I am particularly fond of the new Gateway Solo 900 or something.
266 Pentium II, 14.1 inch screen, 4Gb hdd, 64 Mb ram, built-in DVD
drive etc. etc.. Costs just under 4500 dollars :-)
