I was talking about the actual desk space it takes up. When the laptop is open normally, it took up as much space as the monitor laying flat. This way it only takes up about 4 inches by 15 inches.
Definitely amarok. K3B for all my burning needs. Deluge for the torrent. Google Picasa for photos, I'd use F-spot, but I like that I can upload directly to wal-mart to get prints.

Specs:
4 year old Gateway laptop not worth mentioning.
Mods:
Took out the lcd and mounted it inside a tv case. Extended the power button so that the tv's button works to power on the laptop.
I didn't take this thing anywhere so I decided to put it in...
