I use this laptop at work and it is the most reliable laptop I have used (I used to have a HP NC6000). The battery life is good and the power management feature makes a big difference to the amount of battery life I get. WIth the standard battery I usually get 4 hours. The screen, albeit small, is crisp and clear. The keyboard took me sometime to get used to, as some keys are in different places than I am used to, but the typing is very comfortable. The laptop is also much lighter than I was expecting and this makes a difference when travelling frequently. I have 2GB memory on mine and I would strongly getting as much memory as possible. Graphics and sound are average at best, as I would expect one buys this kind of laptop for the smart features and lightweight design. If you regularly work on the go I would advise getting the longer life battery, as I manage to get 7 hours out of that. What is also more impressive is that I dropped this from about a 1.5m height and there was no damage to the laptop!
