Walt, it's got two (count 'em, 2) 13.3 inch TFTs. It's got a
keyboard the size of a desktop's. And it's dual-headed (they can
mirror each other or be separate, and one can swivel 360 degress...
and, presuming there's XF864 support for the video card, you can
have one as a text console and the other for X).

And further, 12 lbs (with two batteries, mind you) is *lighter*
than my current laptop, an aging IBM ThinkPad 760ED. Just 'cause
you're spoiled by your tiBook is no reason to rub all our faces in
it... ;^>
