Anybody travel with a laptop?

I recently bought an ASUS notebook to use on my trips; its small, lightweight and has 9 1/2 battery life. At around $300.00 it's hard to beat. www.asus.com.

Laptop is great for keeping in touch with folks back home while you're on a trip, uploading pictures to share with family or friends who didn't get to come on the trip, and, if necessary, getting some work done. Also, if you're taking more pictures than your camera's memory can hold, it's nice to be able to download them from the camera to the laptop. I only use mine when I get to the hotel for the evening.
The BlackBerry is much more handy for staying connected throughout the day, checking the weather ahead, etc. Both can take some of the adventure out of the ride, but like color, choice of pipes, handlebars, and seats, it's really about what you want out of the trip. Sometimes it's great to be connected, and sometimes it's great to be able to say, "sorry, I was out of the office."
I do think that the vibration was hard on my laptop when I toted it to and from work strapped to the luggage rack of my Dyna. I think it gets jostled much less in the saddlebag of my Road King.
