    It's pretty much the same as the 8104, just with a tiny bit more powerful processor, less battery life, and a paint job :D

    There are alot of reviews over at notebookforums.

    Ya I agree the exact computer except the ram operates at 333MHz as opposed to 533MHz thats the only change in hardware I can see other than the Turion 64
