@sailentxx technically I could do that and I have done it before without a problem. In fact I did repeat this demonstration several more times this year just to show some folks I know. I'll make a video standing on the notebook on a hard surface soon =)
@sailentxx Well, I don't exactly mind at all really. My Elitebook's pretty worn; I got it 'lightly used' from a close friend in early 2010 and it's been through a lot lately. In fact it picked up 3 new scratches on the lid this week, I have no idea how but I suspect riding in the same bag with a DSLR that's also built like a tank isn't good for the notebook. Performance is still awesome though, and Im not sure when/what my next upgrade will be since the new Elitebooks have 16:9 displays, yuck
