The truly great thing about laptops and netbooks is that you’re not bound to your desk. You can bring them with you anywhere. Some people are taking that to the extreme, bringing their laptops with them to places where most of us wouldn’t.
So, just for a minute imagine you’re not stuck at your desk and join these people who are taking portable computing to new heights.

And a big thank you to all the photographers who let us share their pictures with you!

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock lately, you’ll know that last week Apple announced the iPad, its new tablet device. Reactions have been a mixed bag, and a storm of discussion has swept through the blogosphere about various features the iPad should or shouldn’t have had.
One of the main complaints so far has been the iPad’s lack of multitasking. (To be precise, multitasking is a bit of a misnomer here; the iPhone OS has multitasking. What people really mean is only allowing one app at a time to run.)

Great post!, the most unsusual for me would be the beach, or an airplane (but I guess that’s not so unusual now days).
It did get me thinking though, all these people with their laptops in the sun. It’s nornaly hard to read the escreen easialy.

Its really exciting and wonderful collection. Specially i loved the one in the RESTROOM. I had never even imagined that anyone would use laptop in restroom.
Even i have used laptop in lonely area like garden but not in jungle or tree. The one on the branch of tree is also point of attraction.
