I recently noticed that I'm not the only to use the 770 in place of a 
laptop.

At conferences it can be handy to use as a laptop replacement.    Also 
when on vacation, it is useful to move photos off a digital camera and 
up to an Internet site.   For these medium length tasks a mouse/keyboard 
is more productive (along with something to lift the 770 up to eye 
level, but thats a relatively simple problem to solve. )
