Just out of curiosity... Why does everyone carry laptops? Is it for e-mail access and internet browsing while flying or do you actually do work. I just ask cause I just carry a blackberry. I get email and internet right on my phone. One less thing to carry. I also keep track of all flying on it too so I don't have to carry a logbook with me and use it for weight and balance calculations. Yes I pay a little more on my monthly bill but the convenience is worth it to me.
