but then "desktop replacement" and "light weight" do not mix..:S
better get a 13"/14" laptop and one 19" LCD.
In temrs of power (for normal computing purposes) Any decent notebook is the equal of most Desktops.
The second suggestion is a good option, mobility mixed with a larger (even dual screen)
Whichever way you go, rememeber after sale service is the most important thing in a lappy, you can't open it up and tinker around it like you do with your desktop.
In aftersale keep this in mind, do you want to lug your machine to the service center, and then collect is back a couple of days later, or would you rather you sat on your back side and let the engineer and parts come to you.
Also as I have mentioned before - if 1L is your budget, why not have a holiday while buying your notebook, all in the same cost. The cost diffrential between the same model in India and Malasia will fund a holiday easily for 1, and a budget holiday for 2.
@tracerbullet - how many months warranty does that apple come with/ and what kind of warranty onsite/carry in? What are the other specs ?
