And maybe from one day to the next? I've moved to laptops because the systems finally got there.

For under 800 I picked up a Samsung RC512 then upgraded it with a 500GB Hybrid HDD. It's been a very nice laptop and love the 3 to 4 second wake and sleep times. And that's the new ZERO POWER SLEEP so it's light years ahead of the rest of the things you see out there.
