I do as it happens, have an i7 laptop, but its built like a tank and is designed for hard work, problem is though, I once thought like you, sofa, chilling etc, but the truth of the matter is the noise of typing annoyed SWMBO when she was watching the blasted soaps (

) and of course, the battery life is not great. They get hot very quickly on your laptop as your clothing restricts the cooling air flow and if you plug them into the mains while using them, the cable becomes yet another hazard with the potential of doing massive damage to them if some gets the feet caught up with the cable. Consequently, my 2 laptops, are sitting beneath my bench with batteries that need charging up because they go flat all the time because they are not used

Laptops are perfectly fine for business people who might need to use one in a customers premises to do a presentation etc but otherwise IMO they are a waste of money.
