I plan to get more memory and 7200 rpm hd.
Mini Review:
O yah i got my notebook WAY early. It was suppose to ship 11/29 and i got it 11/24. BONUS!
Well my first impressions were very good, the laptop was packaged well. Everything was in the box and correct parts in the system. I like how light and powerfull the laptop is. Speed wise its close to my AMD 3200 64bit desktop, without the graphics card. my desktop also has 1GB of memory which prob puts it ahead. I need to get some more for the laptop. Dell was too expensive. The screen is CRISP really crisp. I compared it it to my CRT and my bosses compaq laptop. The briteness and clearlity is the best! I setup my wireless network and had no trouble, even enabled WPA
and no i dont broadcast my SSID. Keyboard hasnt really bothered me too much, I never really have a problem adjusting to keyboards. it is smaller and i have missed a couple keys, but thats expected.. The only thing i do have to complain about is the touch pad mouse butons, they do feel cheap. Other than that I have really done much testing.. I havnt reinstalled yet, havnt let the batterey run out yet.. I just cleaned up the xphome install a lil bit and removed alot of crap.. Been kinda playing.. I plan to get my 7200rpm hd and install xp pro. so this xp home is made for me tweak and see what does what then run a nice clean install I will prob wait till next week to order the hd/memory. o yah the audio is nothing special, but its laptop sound, i wasnt expecting it to be all that..
Full Review to come after a couple weeks of playing with this thing
