I've just ordered one of these beasties. Major components are: Chipset : Intel i815e AGP Chipset (maybe i815em) Video: ATI Mobility M4 32Meg (supposedly not yet supported) Sound: ESS maestro 3i Optical drive will be a R-R/W CD Rom (dont have details yet) LCD: 15" SXGA 1400x1050 16mill col. (suppose to be able to X at 1600x1200) other: 56k & 10/100 3com internal card (expect it's a win modem but...), IrDA 1.1, USBx2 Main and secondary battery ( yes it can hold another device as well as the F/d and CDrom) <p>When it comes i'm putting SuSE Linux on it with a very small dos/win partition, otherwise it's Linux. Making use of boards such as the Linux Laptop, etc but expect will have to YELL for help to both mailboxes at stages. When it's completed hope to be able to get rid of a couple of desktops and take my fun/work on the road. regards scsijon
