The invisible computer From what I can tell, the portable computer form factor has become the most desired one of all.
People buy full desktop or tower computers only because they are cheaper.
If given a choice, people tend to prefer owning portable machines. By John Dvorak Current Preferences I use the IBM ThinkPad 600E, which IBM tells me is the most popular ThinkPad the company has ever manufactured. Most of the IBM executives use it. The closest family member is the ThinkPad 570, and is very slick-looking and weighs just over 4 pounds but contains no disk of any sort. This category of machine represents the style I prefer and have promoted over the years.
