whitepaper Portable, But Not Mobile: A Study of Wireless Laptops in the Home2007-04-24 Springer Science+Business Media
  This paper reports a qualitative study of the use of physical space and wireless laptops by ten United States households.

The paper presents factors that influence laptop movement in the home. It also presents a model of people's use of space in the home, identifying a small set of favored places of long-term use and a larger set of kinetic places used for specific tasks.
