Adam,
I am using Dell Inspiron 6000 laptops in my exam rooms, all hard-wired. These have bigger keyboards. My rooms are large enough that I can put these on the old-time wheeled type-writer tables (much cheaper than those tables specifically called laptop stands). I also use a connected mouse as I have never liked the touch pads on laptops. I can then turn the laptop/table around so that, while sitting on my stool, I am directly facing the patient. I can easily maneuver myself to be in front of the patient whether they are in the chair or on the exam table. In my old office I hated having to turn my back to the patient while I entered info into the computer on the counter. When I stand to examine the patient, or when I leave the room, I can easily move the table out of my way and out of the way of the flying pus and blood. This is working extremely well for me.
