In the Middle.......2003-03-25

I got this computer for christmas. i am in high school, and we are required to have them for school. the computer is good in that it is nice looking, a good size (i hate those thin computers) it has a built in dvd/cd-rw, and a 40GB hard drive. i do however have a few complaints. first of all, no built in wireless, only two of the shortcut buttons at the top work. and the mute button on the side of the computer doesnt work at all. the sound is so-so. not great, but ive heard worse. when wearing headphones there is this annoying high pitched buzzing sound that gets louder when you move the mouse. thats about it. over all, its in the middle.

great deal.......2003-01-07

this was my first notebook. it has everything I thought and more.

Excellent Notebook.......2002-12-17

Setup was very easy. The display is crystal clear and the sound is awesome (it's got Altec Lansing speakers built in). Was stuck between this and the Toshiba S301, but finally opted for this because of higher memory (512 MB DDR SDRAM Vs Toshiba's 256 MB SDRAM), better software, easy navigation keys and light weight. This one got more points for the looks as well. It does not get heated that much and the fan is very quiet. The higher memory has a clear advantage when running multiple applications (browsing + watching a movie).

GREAT!.......2002-12-16

I am on it right now, it is great. Run perfectly, great machine.
Very Recommended.

This is an all in one system. Ideal for those looking for a notebook with connectivity for Video editing and TV out. The generous helping of RAM ensures that this notebook is capable of multitasking effortlessly. The huge hard disk is suited for downloading home movies from digital video cameras. All in all this is a bang for the buck system.
