Living with a 20-inch Notebook

Over at Laptop Magazine, the crazy editor decided it would be a fun idea to send a reporter out with an 18.3 pound system with a 20.1 inch LCD monitor. I don’t even have that big of an LCD on my desktop computer.

Since we happened to have a Dell XPS M2010 lying around the office, we figured it an opportune time to take the 20.1-inch system for a spin in the crowded streets of midtown Manhattan. Despite its prominent handle, the 18.3-pound system isn’t designed for carrying around crowded city streets. It’s also not designed for tiny coffee shop tables, nor the human lap-even as a 5′11″ male, I had a fair bit of trouble keeping the thing steady on mine, a situation not improved by the fact that the keyboard detaches automatically. Here’s a recap of my big-screen-machine adventure.

The adventure he has is pretty funny as he goes to various places like the subway where he sets up his 20.1 inch beast getting reactions from excited to unimpressed.
