I have three machines that I actively use.
I have a desktop at home. Built out the way I like it. 1.25 TB hard
drive, Dual core, DBD burner, DVD Rom, Firewire etc. Nice case, it
is a powerhouse for me.
I have a work laptop. (Provided by me) it is a dockable Dell
Latitude AMD dual core 15.4 screen. I have a dock at work, with
keyboard, monitor etc. (hoping to upgrade to a flat panel shortly)
Then I have a HP netbook. The net book is my email, web browser when
I do not want to sit in front of the big machine, machine. When I
fly it is nice not to have take a big laptop with me. It is powerful
enough to run Word processors etc. I can watch movies on it and it
has a 6 hour battery life.
Each serves it purpose.
I bought my wife a desktop years ago as I kept loosing mine to
her. About 4 years ago I got her a laptop. She works very well on
the laptop. First one was a cheap Compaq. Never again. The last
one is a Dell Vostro and it is very good so far.

It seems you found the best solution for your needs. But some folks
like to use the same machine, for both home use and travel. With
speeds, memory sizes and HD sizes on laptops these days, they rival
what desktops had just a few years ago.

That came up in our discussion on what we would do about her laptop. The
cost of just building a solid system, I already had the
case/keyboard/mouse/hard drives, and getting some kind of dock was not much
different. Decided on the little tower instead.

I'm sure you and many readers here know about this, but most model laptops
can plug in to a docking station, so that you can easily use a larger
monitor and full keyboard and mouse of choice. Also externally attached HDs.
