Thats not a laptop, thats a lapwarmer. The P4 is not a good idea for a portable laptop. Shrug, some people are using them as desktop replacements rather then as a portable computer.

Which is what the majority of people shopping for computers at Wall-Mart or Dell will use it for.
Me, I'm happy with my HP.
- AMD Turion(TM) 64 ML-34 (1.8GHz/1MB L2 Cache)
- 14.0 WXGA Widescreen (1280x768)
- ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M w/productivity ports
- 512MB DDR SDRAM (1x512MB)
- 60 GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive
- DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
- 54g(TM) 802.11b/g WLAN w/ 125HSM/SpeedBooster(TM)
- 12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
I added a further gig of ram after I bought it, bringing the total cost to just over $1000. I can play Civ III and Sim City4, run Streets and Trips, wireless internet, and take notes in class. Another nice thing is that the battery will last longer then 5 hours, and it only weighs 2.3kg.
