If you're sensible with what you keep on an 80 or 100GB drive and you've got an external drive at home for keeping non-essentials on (your pr0n, your complete MAME ROM set etc), you shouldn't need to worry about storage space.
Windows + Linux dual boot, Office, Bmax, B3D, all assorted tools, Visual Studio, Photoshop etc will fit in 80GB with plenty of room to spare. My C: is 20GB and it's only half full.
One day, I will be relegating my desktop PC to run as a server or just a backup machine. Laptops are pretty cool. There are also plans for laptops to be more upgradable. I'm sure nVidia were trying to push this point by defining a standard where you could upgrade your video card. If the same can be done for CPU, then I don't see why a laptop couldn't give 5+ years of good service.
