Here's a question, I guess mainly aimed at those of you who are used to using both a desktop machine and a laptop.
This year I am making a transition from only working on a desktop, to only working on a laptop (PB17). Since I've never owned a laptop, I'm not all that sure what things I'm going to find difficult. I heard that there's no numeric keypad on the laptops which is a bummer. But more generally, how does it feel to always type on a laptop keyboard? Is it difficult to get used to, or does it more likely to give you a sore wrist?
(If you're wondering why I'm going to laptop, it's basically because I'm freelancing [graphic design] from home and my wife and I will have a baby in 5 weeks [God-willing]. A laptop will mean I can just go and work in the library or a cafe if it's a bit too hard in our two bedroom flat.)
