Agreed. Last lappy I had to fix had managed to get itself stuck on the external display setting. It was a trivial matter to fix it. Earned me a bottle of whiskey, though...

I agree completely. Doesn't stop people from buying laptops, and leaving them connected to the mains even when off. Some people don't have the space for a desk, or space on their desk for a desktop machine. Or want to watch TV while surfing. Loads of reasons for having a mains powered portable...
