SUMMARY:
Inexpensive, high-performance multimedia laptop that has just about every
feature under the sun.  Caveat: short battery life (a long-life battery
pack is available from the original supplier, but I never wound up needing
it).  Good for "portable" computing, probably not suited to "mobile"
computing unless user opts to seperately purchase the long-life battery
pack.  Multiple video modes great for presentations.
