"The catalyst for all laptops."
Pros: portable, long battery life, incredible performance, etc.
Cons: if you want a large screen, then it's only con is it's screen isn't large.
Summary: I purchased this machine about a month ago and for one minute lets forget about dell's abysmal service. This laptop is amazing and I can't see anyone regreting buying it.
First off it is extremly portable with a 12.1 inch screen and a 7 hour and 56 minute battery life. It may be a little chuncky at the bottom, but i assure you it's not that noticible and doesn't really effect it's portability. While known as an ultraportable laptop, it is still packed with significant power that can rival that of it's older brother, the m1710. Although it will cost extra to upgrade this machine to that standard, it still will cost under 2 grand, which is far less expensive than the m1710 and other laptops in that caliber for that matter. These upgrades should include the 1 gb of ram, 256mb nvidia geforce graphics card,2.13ghz and av communications package. Togaether these upgrades give you a laptop that is powerful and portable.
*Now if you desire a desk top replacement laptop, with a lot of power, then this is not the right laptop for you. For me personally, I see no reason in a laptop unless its portable enough that you can bring it around without it dying on you in an hour. If your like me and you want a pretty powerful computer that can still be brought virtually anywhere than i see no other computer best suited for you.
I completely disagree with cnet regarding the rating of the lenova think pad compared to the m1210. Usually i fullheartedly agree with their opinions, however this time i was shocked. The lenova think pad may be extremly portable, however so is the m1210. They bothe average about 8 hours of batter life, while the lenova is lighter. However the reason for this is it has no cd/dvd drive. Now this doesn't bother some, but it does bother me quite a bit. In addition, the m1210 is a much more powerful comp(less expensive) with a built in camera which I tell you is AWESOME!!
I garuntee anyone who purchases this product you won't be disappointed. While i can't same for 17 inch monstrosities and laptops without optical drives. Trust me I had a 17 inch dell and after 3 months i longed for a more portable machine.

I had a 17inch screen dell duo core that I kept a month and got rid of as it was too cumbersome.This laptop is much more user friendly and light.
