"Just what I need."
Pros: Small, lightweight, durable, very good battery life with extra capacity battery.
Cons: Processor a tad slow, a few problems with touch pad.
Summary: I've used this laptop for almost 18 months. It's just what I need. The two most important considerations for me are portability and battery life. The MM20 scores a 10 on portability and an 8.5 on battery life, but you have to have the extra capacity battery. I actually have two extra capacity batteries.
I can fit this laptop in any briefcase or bag I own. It takes up less space in my bag than a one inch thick 3 ring binder. With the extra capacity battery, the weight is noticeable, but not substantial.
I get about 4 hours of battery life on the extra capacity battery while running exchange mail, large Excel files, and surfing the web. I never switch to the "mobile" low power mode available. If I did, battery life should exceed 4 hours. I carry two extra capacity batteries to give me a total of 8 hours of use a day. You can buy the extra capacity battery for a good price if you join their "sharp rewards" program. Join the rewards program when you buy the MM20 (without the extra capacity battery), wait until you recieve your laptop and your rewards points, and apply the rewards points to the purchase of the extra capacity battery.
It could be faster, but the MM20 is fast enough for my needs. I don't run games or music or any extras. I use my laptop to surf the web and run the full Office 2003 suite of products and a few other applications. This is purely a work laptop for me and I love it.
