Nice specs!



Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

Oh dear, a laptop with a reflective display. Good luck seeing it outdoors or indeed anywhere without adjusting the colour settings to a degree whereby it may as well be a three bit colour system. I speak from experience from my father's HP laptop.

ASUSTek Eee PC 701 4G Black - Celeron M @630mHz - 512Mb RAM - 32Mb Shared Intel GMA 900 - Windows XP Home SP1 - No antivirus/firewall.
And it still boots quicker than any other laptop I've seen.

In stores, I used to think it helped make everything look better on a laptop screen. Then I actually got a laptop with a glossy screen from work and HATED it. Eventually, I convinced them to give me a 22" normal flat screen to use.
