The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved.

    "Mr Reynolds... there's been a bit of a problem with your LCD... No, I don't think we can fix it. When would you like to pick it up? Only $69 for the evaluation... Yes, we take Visa and MasterCard."

    Actually... I'm really amazed at the strength of that acrylic shell. I thought for sure it would snap in half with you rocking it over that parking stop; but it essentially survived in one piece. The bezel is SUPPOSED to snap off the front; that's how you take it apart to service it. But I REALLY thought it was going to be nothing but shrapnel when you were done.

    Bet it would make a great ski-disk for the little ones...

    I've seen 'em with the LCD & KB melted, but plug in an external display and it still booted.

    Yup. CF-28.
