Media or multimedia laptops are not just for working. Rather they target those users who like to watch movies, make movies, work with music and graphics. These are a desktop replacement laptop but with more power for working with media of all sorts.[br] Media laptops are not normally going to be used by travelers, but if you are responsible for creating media rich presentations for your job this style of laptop can handle that easily. Battery life isn't going to be great, so have a spare battery and access to power outlets when you will be using this laptop. Using media rich programs will put more drain on a battery and you'll be glad to have the power available.
