Blending affordability with productivity power, the HP Pavilion dv4410us notebook PC is a great choice for both business road warriors and multimedia enthusiasts on the go. The 15.4-inch BrightView display looks good even in direct sunlight, and movies and games will look clear thanks to the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (with up to 128 MB of shared memory). Enjoy movies or music in seconds with the external DVD or music buttons to launch HP QuickPlay (which bypasses the boot process). Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the included HP remote, then store it conveniently in the PC card slot. And you'll stay productive with the battery-friendly 1.6 GHz Intel Celeron M 380 processor. This notebook also features an 80 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), built-in 54g wireless connectivity, multi-format/dual-layer DVD+/-RW drive (which also burns CDs), HP's Image Zone photo editing and sharing software, and Windows XP Home edition.

IBM ThinkPad T22
I bought a used one and I absolutely love it.Only have one problem.Can't find a user manual for it.There is a lot on it that I don't know how to use.I would like to know what software is compatible and can I download Excel and Power Point etc?Anyone knows of a way to get a user manual please e-mail me at az50schick@yahoo.com.Thanks for reading this.

great laptop
This remanufactured IMB ThinkPad was a great investment!I received a "looks new" computer for half the price of a new one.You cannot even tell that it is used.The computer speed is fast and it is compact and light.It is in excellent shape.The only downside is that the battery that should have a 4 hour charge only holds a charge for 1 hour.But another $55 for a new battery and I'm ready to go ~~and well worth the money.Still a bargin!!

One of the best laptops for road warriors
Although I did not buy one from amazon, I have personal experience working with over a hundred T22's. This was a popular model among many corporations during the past five years, and now is being replaced with the newer T43 which has the P3-M/Centrino chipset. So many of these you are seeing for sale now are being retired from corporate use. One nationwide chain had a contract with IBM which would amount to at least 14,000 T22 Thinkpads in just their local offices across the US. My opinion of this laptop is that they are dependable and extremely well-made. Their biggest advantage, though, is their size which makes them great for travel. They each weigh in at around 5.5 pounds but seem much more compact than that number would describe. That being said, there are a few things to watch for and take note of.

Stay away from Toshiba laptop
I am not a man complaining what I purchased, except that this Toshiba laptop is my very first one! As the other guy said "It cost me $2000 and hardening of arteries".
Avoid Avoid Avoid
The sound drivers come and go, you never know when. The overheating problem on this model is unforgivable.I have to raise the stupid thing with blocks so that the fans can breathe or it shuts down in 20 minutes.Toshiba should be ashamed of this model but after hearing from other unfortunate owners of this crappy machine the word from the company is "Overheating?What overheating?"They owe me a new machine, preferably from some other company.

Two Main problems
There are two main problems with this computer. It took me sending it off twice and a personal computer guy coming to my house four times to figure it out.

Sony Vaio fs740 - Good laptop
I've had the fs740 a while and haven't had any of the problems that the others are describing.The trend seems to be that bestbuy is selling defective machines.Perhaps they get theirs made especially for them and cut corners?That said, I have heard alot of complaints about the customer service practices of Sony even though I havent had to deal with them (yet).
bad product, worse customer service
I brought the product from best buy in chicago, after a month the laptop suddenly died on me, took it back to best buy, it took more than 3 weeks for the pc to come back, with all the data erased , apparently there was a problem in the mother board ( it seems this is quite a frequent problem with vaios the connection between the power supply & the mother board !).
SONY VAIO VGN-FS HAS DEFECTIVE AND WRONGLY DESIGNED LCD.

Did a lot of research and am 100% satisfied...
Quick rundown:
Sony VAIO T350/l Rocks
The T350 series is being offered by Sony as an ultimate back-to-school accessory. If only such had been available when I was in school. For me it is the ultimate road warrior computer. It is as powerful as a desktop and keeps up nicely with a big HP bad boy laptop which was designed for performance, not battery life. In all respects, the small Sony is equal or better and it's just a joy to use. The keyboard reminds me of an Apple PowerBook keyboard. It is small which is normally a disadvantage but the sure, precise action makes it as easy to use as a desktop keyboard and easier than most laptops.
A product that shows the bleeding edge of technology
I bought the Sony Vaio T250L, the percursor to this model; the T350 series is the T250, but with the addition of 3G connectivity to the Bluetooth and WiFi. Every other spec is the same.
