I can easily say A laptop is not a desktop and A weblet is not a laptop.

And every situation is covered when you have all three.

But I am very interested to see how well the combination of desktop, internet and weblet serves. Will taking the laptop completely out of the equation really meet all my needs?

I believe if there were an affordable phone data plan -- iPhone users pay $20 a month. I'd settle for $20 a month! -- then I'd be more than satisfied. I'd be using the weblet in places I'd never open a laptop. I'd use more web applets and store more mutable stuff on the web as the primary (and not backup) file.

As it is now, the Nokia Internet Tablet only beats out the laptop for "carry a device just in case" situations, and the laptop wins out for "I've got the laptop anyway cause I have to take it into the office/back home" situations (like the 35-minute train ride).

So when you write, I hope you'll post those small dissatisfactions and moments of being not-all-that-happy, as well as the Eureka! and Hallelujah I'm free! moments, when your laptop's absence is unlamented and even celebrated.
