I am sure a lot of you have gone through the same transition! So some questions for people who mainly use a laptop and lug it around everywhere: what features do you find most useful? I am not looking for specific model recommendations but it would be nice to know just how well your current laptop meets your needs and what would you change to make it better. I realize this is a broad topic and there will be different personal preferences but I am in fact looking for different points of views.
