Naw, I personally prefer a laptop where one can *see* the screen. ;-P
I even consider a 12" screen to be too small.  Though I noticed on the
Lenovo site their new X-series Tablets, which are 12" with a
touch-screen which flips around, so you can draw on it with the stylus
just as if you were using a clipboard.  That's almost cool enough to
tempt me, if I could be sure that the touch-screen would also work in
Linux.

But 12" seems awfully small.  Though for a Tablet it's rather large, I
suppose.
