We have movie stars in our midst! Fresh off their success with LexThink, TechnoLawyer members Dennis Kennedy and Matt Homann star in a video on laptops and tablet PCs produced by Intel. In the video, they discuss how they use Intel's Centrino technology in their practices.

Specifically, Dennis talks about the benefits of "taking your office with you," stating that with his tablet PC "the biggest competitive advantage ... is in client service."

Matt touts mobile computing as a "liberating way to do your work." He says that his tablet PC functions "less as a technological tool and more of a communcations tool."
