I was hesistant to do that too, but I've been using my Gateway Tablet PC as my primary PC for the past few months now and haven't looked back. When I bought it about a year ago I pretty much maxed it out, so it's not like I'm missing out on anything in regards to speed or features. Plus, it allows me to be anywhere in the house, which is important when you have a 3 and a 1 year old running about. My main desktop has remained untouched in the office in my basement for quite some time now. The only thing I haven't tried on the laptop as of yet is digital video production, but I have to do that soon anyway, so we'll see (there's no reason why it won't work just fine doing that). I really don't see much of any reason to be on a desktop for me anymore anyway, as I primarily game on consoles (most of what I enjoy on a PC runs just fine on a non-gamer maxed system) and I can do all my typical computer stuff just fine on my Tablet and then some (writing, development, etc.). I have a networked all-in-one printer and wireless everything, with everything else on plug-in-on-demand USB as well, so there are no issues with needing to be tethered in one specific spot.

Depends what you want to use it for. Desktop replacement, just playing about, or as a travelling companion. I have a tiny 2 year old FujistuSiemens Lifebook P7100 with a 10.4" screen. Its slow (1.2GHz, single core) and doesnt pack a lot of RAM (512Gb). But I use it everywhere and for everything! Its great! Only problem is that its physically rather fragile and non-waterproof! Id be loathe to have a portable computer as my only computer. Come to think of it, I wouldnt have any computer as my only one.
