The trade off, though, was that you werent getting too much for your money. Laptops back then tended to be slower than desktop versions, with less options on memory, processors, and applications. The whole purpose of them, remember, was mobility. If you wanted mobility and power, you were looking at a small fortune.
Nowadays, the opposite is true. Laptops arent far behind desktops in price and power. The selection of hard drives, memory, and processors has shot to the moonor the couch in some cases. Capabilities for notebooks such as HP laptops are so great that many people buy them as their primary computer, to use on their desk, at their office, or in their neighborhood coffee shop.
