Is a 17 inch laptop too big for travel?

It's not too big to use in your lap, and the size of the monitor is a great advantage. However, it really is too big to take with you outside the house, and it's only good for moving from room to room as needed. I'd call it “luggable” rather than portable. It's only slightly more portable than a desktop.
