Summary: For the not so businessey men - this notebook's for you!
Review: Owning the local Circuit City at Columbus. Ohio, I have had a hands-on experience with a lot of laptops, and this one was another above average performer.

To begin with, IBM has packed in a powerful PC into this tiny baby. Looks, of course, are not our main issue, but they'll satisfy most of us. The Intel Celeron processor is the slight drawback faced by this product; and Averatec model that costs 799 bucks gives you and AMD Apthlon XP processor which is WAY better...

A 20GB harddisk and the 128 MB RAM is also average. But still, I'd go hands'down for the Averatec 3150HD, which is this IBM's competitor. I happen to own the 3150HD myself. Don't check the product's page for a review there; I'll give it to you in a single word - EXCELLENT!

So if this is jus' for a student who is tech savvy, this IBM ought to tidy up the job. But for the office going adult or cyber junkie college mate, Avaratec will find you in a happier place whith the 3150HD.
