Yeah I was like that a few years back. Now I flip laptop screen over on its back like a giant tablet. Use it for signing docs, drawing rough interface plans & ideas, sketching out flow charts, producing diagrams, brainstorming with clients or co-workers, demo'ing or testing handheld tablet/phone apps with a interface closer to what they will use themselves, reading books & docs and so on. Probably only about 5% of work time if even that, but hell I hate laptops without it these days. The ability to do these things makes work a far more enjoyable experience. I like the added freedom of a laptop that doubles as a giant tablet with enough actual grunt to get stuff done.

its great for creatives you aren't the only user
