I picked up this laptop for free after someone replaced it with a 5 year old used laptop. For a computer this old, it is an amazing little machine. The screen is as brilliantly lit as most of the best notebooks today, the build makes it feel like it was honed from a solid block of marble, the touchpad is easy to use, the processor could leave a lot to be desired, but even though this is running Windows XP, it's still fast enough to be a great internet and email computer. I upgraded the RAM to 192MB and the hard drive to a massive (for this laptop) 80GB!

Then there's the speakers.

I do not believe I have ever heard a better set of speakers on a notebook computer. Harman Kardon, Altec Lansing, anything that I've seen on a notebook pales in comparison to the beautiful set of horns adorning the front of this little black box. I love this laptop as if I bought it brand new (it is in perfect, immaculate condition) and I don't think this little beauty is going in the bin for quite some time.
