I'd say it was dead easy and perfectly practical on a laptop to do your
crystallography anywhere you choose - but you'd probably still want a
darkened room for model building... I regularly use a clunky 'old' (2
years) Powerbook for integrating/scaling/etc "on the road"; I don't often
get the chance to do the building etc these days!
