Actually, recently I did see a 64bit widescreen x86 laptop for less than 1300 quid, in comet I believe, the person buying one however didn't like the idea of non standard resolutions.

We thought about a laptop as a way round the lack of deskpace problem we're going to have, but a laptop has too many compromises for me. I don't like the proximity of the keyboard and monitor, I don't like the viewing angle (I get a sore neck quite easily these days  ) and I hate trackpads, trackballs, and intellipointerthingys of all kinds. It's also overkill because I don't want to take my computer out of the house, I just don't want to have to have a desk to use it inside the house.

True, I plugged a cordless mouse and keyboard in to mine, unfortunately it adds another power cable but does the job. I have a spare room dedicated purely to computer and AV equipment and I'm salaried to work from home so I don't get nagged at for it thankfully.
