I have had my Z505SX for a little over a month with one cross country trip
with it.
I have used it for C++ software development, Microsoft Office, Project,
Outlook, Quicken, VISIO, and Internet access. I have also duplicated CDs with
EzCD Creatore by using the EPP parallel port on the port replicator to my
parallel SCSI adapter to a CDRW. Recording speed worked fine at 2X.
Even with all this installed (and I did full installs of products not laptop
installs) I have over 3.4GB of disk space free.
Plusses:
I love the weight, display quality, display size, speed, touchpad, and
built in 100BT ethernet.
Components used are from quality manufacturers-
Intel PII / Intel Chipsets
Neomagic 256AV display/audio adapter
Intel Ethernet controller
Intel USB
Intel IDE controllers
Ricoh Cardbus Controller with Phoenix Drivers for Dos included
ALPS manufactured Glidepoint touchpad with full drivers
Rockwel HCF winmodem (with Voice -- no software provided which uses it)
Sony 1394 controller
[...]
Any specific questions I will try and answer.
Paul
