Summary: Outstanding performance, reliability, and portable
Review: I have been using this notebook computer for 6 months and have been extremely happy with its performance. The construction is solid, with a high quality keyboard, and the monitor hinge is sturdy. The notebook does not get hot, and the fan is quiet, though rarely on. The processor is amazingly fast. The screen resolution is exceptionally sharp. The wireless capiblity works very well and easy to set up. It has the usual gadget, including a S-video output, DVD R/W drive, bluetooth, etc...too many to list. The notebook is truely portable, with the last battery lasting for about 6 hours. The "Access IBM" button is actually very helpful. The only criticism is the price, but I think it is well worth it for the quality. I previously owned a Dell notebook and find that IBM quality a significantly better (the Dell notebook hinge and back cover cracked open, runs very hot). IBM has a standard three-year warranty. I used their "help line" and found it to be efficient, courteous, and helpful. In summary, this is a great notebook computer and is well worth the money.
