Guilty as charged. I love my great honking big old IBM A series thinkpad. It's got a 15" screen and weighs a ton. I'd buy another if they still made them.
For a while this was my primary development machine, so speed mattered a lot and I generally didn't go more than a couple hours outside home or office, so power consumption wasn't a big issue. My primary machine for work is a Thinkpad as well--- going 'bigger better faster stronger' makes sense if it's going to be the primary machine, with mobility as an extra feature rather than the main concern.
