When I went shopping I saw a number of the latest and greatest computers. The one that sold me was the HP Slimline, because it is sized small. After wrestling my old one off the desk and dusting it up, I had a very clear idea of how much the thing weighed and how hard it was to turn around to deal with USB ports and any problems.
So are you saying that you like to own small pieces of "equipment". I personally like them big and powerful, just like what I'm sporting if you catch my drift
