Too much work and not that big of an issue.  I have a desktop machine with a 
2600+ that I am doing all my package compiling on and just using the laptop 
for light work or listening to music with an external usb DAC that I can do 
all over the house.  It also makes a great wireless terminal for my desktop 
machine.
