"Great Item, crappy screen cover" on by sniperrus
Pros: Fast, light, 2.5 hours battery time
Cons: LCD Mask (screen cover) cracks if you breathe on it funny
Summary: I like this piece of hardware for taking notes. I'm in school (again) so it's a life saver. Pretty much everything about it is on the mark, fast machine, reliable, accurate screen. The only major problem is the screen cover. Two issues, one is that it is ridiculously reflective, using it in the lecture hall with overhead lights is a headache; two is that it cracks if you look at it funny. I've only had the machine for six months and I'm already on the third LCD Mask (Part No. P000388420), and I'm pretty careful with my hardware.

Cons: Although processor quite speedy I confide that I would kill for a 7,200 RPM hard drive vs existing 4,200. Computer takes forever to start and close using default factory settings but I find that I can disable ½ the stuff via MSCONFIG and SERVICES. Whe

"If Only Women were as good..." on
Pros: This was a replacement for my Compaq X1000 15.4" Widescreen laptop which I loved until I had to take it to class 3 times a week and found it too heavy and had serious hard drive issues. The M200 seems much more durable-- even though it operates on a sing
Cons: No optical, sort of heavy for a 12" laptop (4.4lbs). A 14" IBM T40 is about the same weight. Although it has the same 1.5GHz Centrino processor as my X1000 it is noticeably slower.
