Written By neofusion Date Written Nov 03 2002 Summary Before I started law school, I realized that I would need a new computer. Since I was going to be on the move alot, it had to be a laptop.

Written By ivgin Date Written Mar 11 2003 Summary It's been almost 6 months since I got it. The initial excitement is gone. All that's left now is an unbreakable trust in this piece of titanium and tin. Trust in its power, trust in its consistency, trust in its vitality. Enough with the poetics. Strength Sleek look. Wide screen. Big keyboard. Great expansion options. Mac software in general. Weakness Hot. Slower than equally-priced Pentium laptops. No Bluetooth. Bottom Line Dear reader, you're looking at a review of one of the last models, in which details were developed to perfection. Buy it and you'll never regret.  |
