I wouldn't use a laptop as a HTPC. To me, a HTPC shouldn't even remotely look like a computer, it should look like it belongs in the living room.

Also, to me, a keyboard and mouse DO NOT BELONG in the living room. There is nothing worse then seeing a keyboard on the living room table. It looks tacky and very out of place. Home Theater equipment should only use the remote..nothing else.

I agree Mark. The Dell hybrid is a step in the right direction and it does look great (perfect for that use), but the parts are a bit weak for full HTPC use. I think I'll wait till the next version to pick one of those up.

One of the things I love about my laptop is sitting on my couch doing my work on it while watching TV/movies. I don't think I'd like if I want to put something on using the HTPC and have to dock my laptop to view it.
