I got more features/$ than if I would have bought a Sony, my second choice. I have had no problems with it. Sound is now supported in the kernel for it. I have never tried the modem. I use its internal ethernet. It ships with CDRW, an external USB floppy is required. Battery life with FreeBSD is about 4 hours. With win2k it is 6 hours! Cost $2500. Have fun shopping. Rob.
