The Pros:Solid performance for basic productivity tasks. Lots of video output options - S-Video TV-Out, VGA. Integrates a nice keyboard and touchpad.
The Cons:Gawdy looking two-tone color scheme. Aging product - laptops with greater value are now available. Both memory slots come occupied - an upgrade requires two completely new SODIMMs.
