key quotes of the review

I was surprised a little by the lack of USB ports on sides. That is unusual.
I think all of them, except for the last button, are too small to be used with comfort. While it's suitable for rarely used WLAN and touchpad off buttons, it's not that good for browser and email ones. Blue data transfer and lock LEDs are also located nearby.

Besides, I believe 1680x1050 is too high for a comfortable resolution.

What you will have to get used to is the optical drive eject button located in the lower, narrow part of the body. This makes impossible accidental ejects, but also makes purposely pushesv harder than average (I succeeded on the second try).

I guess it's sensible to compare only Centrino models by standalone operation time. M6B00Ne considerably loses in this field with 100% repetition. Well, this is a drawback of increased performance. The gap is actually too big, but maybe will be reduced in serial models.

as long as you enjoy it..

I think...I'll be okay w/ it. I mostly wanted to ugrade my video without parting with more cash.

You know what, all haste aside.
I wish you luck at school and I hey.......enojy your lappy.
Any lappy that is "new" is a plus in my book.

As for me, I'll try to do the same....
But I'm no stranger to selling laptops on a
monthly basis......
