I'd hate to use a laptop exclusively for the same reason. However, you
*can* connect an external monitor and keyboard to a PC laptop. And if
you don't want to sacrifice your mouse port to the keyboard, you can
simply buy More Stuff... I received a WinBook catalog a few months ago
that had a nifty port that attached to the back of the laptop that
allowed you to easily plug in lots of things, including a matching
(charcoal, not cerulean blue ;-) full-size keyboard.
