Depending on the price and features, this could sell well.

A few months ago, I saw an HP brochure and a new sub-category of laptop is "desktop replacement." The unit I saw had a 17" screen (+/) and the media player could run with the screen closed via front buttons.
Of course it was heavy and expensive.

The laptop that I have is big and heavy, and after four years, the battery is very lazy--add to that the fact that the only way I can access the web is a PCMIA air card, and I have about one hour of time on the battery.


So for some people, a big laptop with no battery could be a valid choice. Not sure how much weight plays into it, though if you are being mobile, i.e. going from one location with outlets to another, the light weight could be a factor.
