IBM POWER4+ 1.2 GHz processor board

Advantages: Small, light and well spec'd
Disadvantages: Replacement parts prices.

...space free. THE BATTERY The battery holds a full charge and lasts for about 105 - 120 minutes depending on what you are doing. It probably needs a new one but they are £60 ish and it's just as easy to carry the power cable if we need to transport it anywhere. INPUT AND OUTPUT The mouse nipple is a bit awkward till you get used to it but after that it is quite accurate and you can do things quite quickly.
