    It's easier to move (Americans move an average of every 7 years)

    Gee, is THAT why Americans are so fat? Lack of exercise?

    Seriously, nobody's going to be buying a laptop because they're thinking about how hard its going to be to move it in 7 years. Seven years from now, it'll be a piece of crap that they'll tell their friends who are helping load the truck - "Hey, I'm not going to bother moving that piece of junk - if you want it, you can have it. But don't forget the beer!"
