    oh, you're the person, who actually uses the original client?

    Yes and I have good reason to. The server-side handling of Google talk, Facebook chat and others means that I don't have to deal with the overhead of protocols like XMPP and instead rely on low bandwidth and low processing requirements of Oscar-like protocols (which is favorable on unstable network conditions, like when traveling and using mobile Internet). The mobile client for ICQ can rely exclusively on push messaging, which is honestly a God send when it comes to maintaining battery life. Since the other protocols are handled servier-side, I only have to use one application with push messaging on my mobile devices.

    I'm confused, is $100 == 61GBP or is $300?

    Sorry, managed to miss the word 'three' in your original post. I'd say that's a decent saving to make. 100? Not so much.

    I don't know why you haven't seen these things. They are common, as is the market for smaller off-brand replacements.

    The off-brand stuff I've seen are a bit larger than the originals, but not overly so and for some absurd reason, incredibly light (like, it just feels like the weight of the plastic) against the originals which leads me to suspect they're probably missing something quality wise.

    I will say from a personal preference, I prefer the bricks over the 'all in one' plugs, since the plugs are difficult to plug in to sockets that are right on the floor, desk sockets or on a strip with other bulky plugs as well as likely to fall off under certain plugs like the CEE 7/16 (fortunately I live in a country that uses BS 1363).

    Ummm... ten years, right? Starting from laptops made in 2002? Are you sure you would know 'washed out' if you saw it? I mean you can just go down the aisle in Best Buy and see a ton of them today, not to mention back in 2002.

    We don't have bestbuy here, in PC World, Dixons, ASDA (which absurdly for some reason are selling Dell systems in supermarket), I only see glossy screens and no indications of washed out colors on any monitors.

    Double the thickness is double the thickness, even if it is flat. That means less space in the bag. I'd go more into detail but I have serious doubts about your laptop experience, here.

    I carry "The new iPad" (in a case that has a bluetooth keyboard), an "Acer Aspire One 521" and a "Lenovo T420s" in a smallish backpack on a daily basis, all together and I still manage to fit documents, cables, pain killers, notepad (the writing kind) and a roll up raincoat (since rain likes to appear at a moment's notice) in that bag. If my iPad, netbook and laptop were thicker, I could still fit it in without much worry. I honestly haven't noticed laptops to be thicker than my Lenovo, although my iPad with it's bluetooth keyboard case is thicker than that.

    It's not unwieldy or hard to carry them around. I don't fumble really at all. I just slide them in and out and unwrap cables as needed (since I roll them up before putting them in the bag instead of just tossing them in). That's why I don't believe you.

    As for experience, I can't prove the past laptops I've owned, but you can at least see my picture of what I currently do which should hopefully suffice.

    Heh. About a year ago one of you morons decided to brag to me about how they got a laptop 'better than mine' for a three hundred bucks cheaper than my Macbook Pro.

    100USD is nothing to talk about, that's only 61GBP.

    Write me off as anecdotal if you like, but do notice that not one person ever mentions the quality of display, the form factor of the machine, or the size of the power brick.

    My anecdotal is that I don't notice anything with power bricks being over sized or heavy on any new laptops in the past ten years and I haven't seen washed out colors on new monitors in over ten years now. Form factor wise, every laptop looks like a flat thing when closed - Oh so unwieldly!
