    "The best computer for the price."

    by brienbattiste on July 26, 2005

    Pros: Everything. The brightview screen seems is super clear. Battery life with optional 12-cell is about 7 hrs. normal and 6 hrs. playing a dvd. The computer has speakers which I thought it didn't.

    Cons: The 12-cell battery is pretty heavy and tilts the keyboard up and extends everywhere, but worth it for the battery life.

    Summary: I spent several months looking for the perfect notebook, and let me tell you this is it. I have only had it for a week and I am already blown away by everything about it. My model has XP pro, 1.73 Pentium M, 1 GB of DDR2 RAM, 80GB HDD, BrightView screen, 12-cell battery, dvd burner. All of these upgrades are what you should do. They were the best priced and one step aboved was overpriced. Mine was 1300, and without XP pro it would have bee 1220!! This computer is almost top of the line! I don't know why cnet has not review this work of art yet. It is already available and the price now starts at only 699. The screen is only 14.1 in, but you will be surprised at how big it seems. It is almost perfect with the one exception of the large and heavy battery..but that is worth it too because the thing worked for 7 hours when I was fill out calenders, working on word, and listening to music. It lasted 6 while I was watching DVD's. BUY IT NOW!! And a note to the cnet editors REVIEW IT NOW!!!
