At least the centrino model lacks a scroll help. For both models, if you upgrade it to the usual standard of DVD/CD-RW, 40 GB harddisk and comparable CPU to other offerings you come out more expensive even without the Windoze license. They don't have a moderate 3-year warranty, either the almost useless one or a full-blown thing for $750. Detail mess like this made me bail out of getting myself a notebook as a christmas present. Short of $2000 I didn't find anything without a major nitpick. Martin -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer <cracauer@cons.org> http://www.cons.org/cracauer/ No warranty. This email is probably produced by one of my cats stepping on the keys. No, I don't have an infinite number of cats.
