Yeah Clara, I really debated the lighter vrs faster question when I went for a laptop this January. I would have loved a powerhouse with a massive screen once I sat down and got to work. This would have worn off quickly if I ran out of juice after an hour. Bigger machine + lots of batteries = a bad back. The question turned out to be not IF you could carry it around but WOULD you really. Frodo is a tad more powerful than my last generation workstation- the one that I created 3/4 of my digital portfolio on. And is so small that it goes most places with me anymore. I could have nailed a machine as powerful as the workstation I now use- one that had a giant screen. It would likely be sitting home today. -Frank >>Laptops with faster CPUs run hotter and burn through batteries. > >This is consistent with my experience.
