I went to a *very* small university at which nearly all members of the community (students, faculty, staff) feel bound by a strong honor code. Theft is not generally a problem, and students frequently leave their doors open when they...

I received my 700m about two weeks ago and it has a 40gb 5400RPM Fujitsu drive. I haven't had any problems with it. My optical drive (Samsung combo), oh the other hand, makes a huge racket sometimes when I'm installing off of it (but...

I just flashed the BIOS in Windows (no floppy drive!) and updated both the touchpad and video drivers. So far, so good. SpeedswitchXP now displays the time remaining (in minutes) when the laptop is running on DC. I'd like it to...

After speaking to about six different reps (most of whom were unintelligible due to poor English skills or garbled telephone connections), I spoke to a rep who told me that the CSRs were specifically told not to give any concessions to...

Hi all, Long time reader, first time poster. Please don't kill me There's been a lot of discussion about the new 6000 and 9300, but I was wondering if anyone has an idea of if/when Sonoma might appear in the 700m? It would be...
