    Hi all,
    Just want to share. I was lurking in and out, now time to give something back (not much though).
    I bought S6210 from Euclid computers - very nice guys. Got it 1 day earlier than promised (unpredictable UPS). I started to check the notebook right away. All aplication buttons work: great feature. In some reviews I read about outside corners of the keyboard being flaky - I don't know, seemed pretty solid to me. Well, if you hit it with a hammer a couple of times it will be flaky. But I didn't find any instructions about that in the manual, therefore I didn't do it. Screen doesn't have any dead pix. Very bright screen. Battery drains in about 3 hrs, but I used wireless all the time and played music and DVD for a minute each. Ran all applications that I'm gonna use. Here came a small problem with Norton AV (comes preinstalled): after I installed MS Office, every time I started Word or Excel I've got a NAV pop-up requesting to update. It was going on untill I initialized NAV. I wonder if there's anything else I should check so it doesn't bite me later?
    Overall I'm a happy camper. Hope it'll last.
    Thanks everybody for the input on this model I used in my decision.

    If you want to get rid of norton, which is just a trial version, you could try AVG anti virus free edition. Also get a firewall like sygate. also get adaware and spybot.

    All the cheapest money can buy. They all cost less than a penny.
    you can also get Panda for a anti-virus software. Usually it's not free. but there is a promotion for it, free for one year.
