The way I see it, if I'm at the end of line with upgrades with my current system anyway. It has AGP, DDR1 and Socket-754. Even if I DID want to upgrade to the latest tech, I'd have to buy all new crap anyway (save for memory if I stick with AMD).
As for DVD stuff, my laptop has a DVD+-RW drive so I won't be hurtin' in that arena. And the system is plenty fast (1.6GHz Pentium-M + 1GB memory). The only think I'm thinking of upgrading is the hard drive from a 4200 to a 5400 or 7200.
And I just picked up one of these today from CompUSA for $30 if I get the urge to sit at my desk again to do work

This is a very good point. My desktop is in the same state: A64 S754, 2x512MB DDR, 6800GT. The case is about the only thing I would keep if/when I upgraded.
The only desktop upgrade I will shell out for would be to go to dual core, but then Intel is SUPPOSED to have Yonah out in early 2006. Why not sell both my laptop & desktop @ that point and upgrade to a kick@$$ Yonah notebook? Decisions decisions
And how do you like the Kensington dock? Looks pretty nice
EDIT FYI: Yonah is supposed to be a dual core, 65nm evolution of the Pentium M; and SOMEHOW using less power than Dothan (assuming w/one core operating, as that is how it is supposed to run on battery, single core)
