    Without knowing what you are doing with it or your budget, it is hard to help. Certainly will be light and portable. Transmeta CPUs are known to be a little pokey plus it has a 4200RPM drive which will be slow and not upgradeable. If you are looking for something small perhaps the Acer 3002 would be a nice option.

    Well, you really need to consider how much performance you need - if you're just doing the basic web/office/music stuff, then that laptop should have all the power required. You'd be best off filling out the FAQ at the top of the forum so we can get a better idea of what would suit you.

    I want one now that I've taken a quick look at it though. It looks like it would be a fantastic mobile laptop, especially with a nice light Linux distro... it's how much, you say? :p

    i have been using the MM20 for a while now. i have never had had any problems with it at all. yes it is not for gaming and it is obviously not the fastest one on the market, but for size and battery life (using the 9 hour extended one) you can't beat it for the price.
