I have done the tech thing for so long I know how to find answers and put solutions together to make things work. I'm seeking everyone's opinion on getting a laptop for this new slot. The laptop would run windoze (must communication with the rest of the company) and is for the purpose of tracking documents, proposals, notes, tasks, ideas, schedules. Also for preparing all of the above things. Oh, and taking notes in meetings, etc. I would also use it to search through the documents for things. I think I would rather use a wiki than word :(, but must still communicate with the rest of the company. I would also load all of cygwin on it so I still have my dev tools that I am most comfortable with, and so I can reach the unix servers. It would have wireless so I can move about the house, to the library, etc., to get things done. Does this make sense what I'm trying to achieve? Is a laptop reasonable for this (though expensive, ~$900 USD), or should I keep with my desktops at home and work?
