After a couple of months of searching, I eventually settled on buying a couple of these laptops for my engineers. We have very specfic as well as demanding requirements such as high graphics resolution, lots of RAM, lots of CPU power as well as good connectivity and CD-R/W, etc. This machine gave us this all for a very reasonable cost in a surprising lightwight but relativity robust package.

We upgraded RAM to 1 Gbyte, and a big plus is the fact that we can go higher to 2Gbytes if we want to. The large 16" screen and high resolution (1400x1050) is great, and with an extenral monitor we can go to 1600x1200 which is is essential for us. So far we have had no problems. In fact my engineers who are quite critical due to the extremely demnading nature of their jobs and the software we run, have given this machine very high marks.

I bought this Jan'04 at $1,500.
Tried the wifi with no problems. V. clear screen and keyboard is novel with a 5degree smile. The fan does kick in occasionally (<2% of the time) and is a trifle noisy.
The HOME and END key are an annoyance as is the USB port positioning on the LHS when using a RHS mouse, although this is not a prob. with a cordless device.
Great package and great price.

I bought this laptop seven months ago for $1500(after rebate), and I'm so glad I did. It has an excellent screen and battery life. It's relatively thin and quite(unless fan kicks in < 5% of time). I've also had no technical issues to date, and I've used it at work everyday. Originally I was kind of disappointed about the wireless range, but then I learned that I could download a newer driver off the internet. Now it has a much more reasonable range. I definitely recommend this product.

If you are intersted to buy this product go for it and do not hesitate, the specification is really great if you compared it to the price.
Very nice looking, thin, crystal clear screen and and and ...

As I told you don't hesitate
