    I just noticed this model on hpshopping. I just started looking at HPs a month or so ago, so if the ze4900 is just a later version of another ze4000-series, can someone tell me how these machines rank?

    It looks like you can get them with a 1.7 PM. Main downsides I see are:
    - WinXP Home only; no Professional
    - integrated video
    - no VGA port (S-video is there)
    - no parallel/serial ports (but PS-2 is there?!)
    - XGA only; no widescreen (although not a big deal to me)
    - no media card reader

    Comments on this machine? Thanks.
