Advantages: Small, Portable, Doesn't get too hot.

Disadvantages: No CD Drive.

This is a great little laptop!
I was looking around for a cheap laptop to complete my course work on while at college. I came across this little laptop while looking at a referb shop on ebay.
The laptop came with all the specifications above appart from the 1GB RAM that it had been upgraded to.

The Laptop is thin, portable and generally quiet. Installing Windows XP Pro can be difficult (or it was for me) since there is no CD Drive, everything has to be installed by USB Flash drive, or other USB external devices.
The temperature of the laptop doesn't seem to be an issue, it does get hot (as all laptops do) but I have yet to see it burn my legs while using it (even while playing games!)
There is no inbuilt WiFi so I would recommend buying a PCMCIA WiFi card.

If you are a student or someone who is interested in buying a laptop for web browsing or office then go ahead and buy this laptop, its cheap and does the job fantastically!

Summary: This laptop is great for Web browsing and Office work.
