Comments on: Nice laptop http://cogscanthink.blogsome.com/2007/09/11/nice-laptop/ I'm a mere, tiny, insignificant cog in a whole clockwork of stupidity. I'm the tiny cog that wants to break free. Seriously.

Very nice setup. And Linux friendly too, except the ATi chipset that's still a little bit unstable. It's robust, has a maximum operating time of 3h50m, weighs 2.1Kg with the 8-cell batttery that tilts it a bit in the back, lovely contrasted screen, and only complaints I have, all minor, are the keyboard that you have to get used to while having to press the keys right in the middle, the speakers that are more like squeakers, the bad positioning of the 2 USB ports on the right (but unavoidable), and the partially covered Kensington lock hole by the 8-cell battery.
