Great laptop
(5 out of 5) by Charlie Wallace on Sep 21, 2003 (north hollywood, ca United States)I have 3 laptops now, an alienware 51m 3.06HT monster, a HP ze5185 medium and the TR1A , i love the TR1A, its very small yes, if you have bad eyesight, i wouldn't recommend it.
large hands migh thave trouble with the smaller than usual keyboard.
my only real complaint is that it doesn't have built in IR, but thats only because i need it, and i'd prefer not to use up a usb slot or have a dongle hanging off it.
Display is fantastic, speed is great, seems to be about equivalent to a celeron 1.4 or 1.6.
its a little flimsy in some ways, but also really well built in others.
hard disk performance is great, i run developer studio 6 on it mainly and it copes no problem, which i was suprised at just how perky it is compared to the tablets or transmetas.
Battery life is simply phenomenal, its hard to achieve close to 7 hours as claimed, but i've made 4 easily.
very very happy with it.
