Good Points

1.Fast CPU
2. Weighty but solid
3. Memory upgradeable- now running 1Gb PC2700 SIDIMM whereas it came with 512Mb PC2100.
4. Runs Windows XP Pro very well.
5. Copper heatsink and fan assembly keeps the CPU cool enough to avoid
6. Plenty of USB ports and both a 56K modem and LAN sockets


Bad Points

1. Run continually on the charger/mains power causes the inverter to malfunction and the graphics take a long time to settle. Multi coloured haphazard screen image until it does.
2. Only one memory slot.
3. Replacement Batteries are expensive .
4.Speaker output is weak and pathetic


General Comments

As long as you are not going to store masses of digital photos a Seagate Momentus 40Gb HDD is fine. Upgrading the battery increased the battery life to 2.5 hours fully charged, though if used intensively to load programs this soon reduced to an hour or so.
Overall not a bad laptop.
