    hi, I have an A60 equium 3.06 40gb 64mb graphics,I've found it to be a very competant machine so far (I've only had it since december 2004)so no real chance for things to emerge as a problem yet,but so far so good.The only thing i've had problems with so far is an updated driver for the graphics but that's about it.It's fairly quick processor wise,the graphics are only 64mb the hard drive's sufficent it's got hyperthreading which is handy,if your thinking about buying,i don't think it would be a bad buy.Hope that helps

    antioquia,

    I too bought a A60 recently and have absolutely no complaints (so far). I was actually looking for a Centrino notebook but decided against it because of budget concerns. For sheer value the A60 can't be beaten. With a P4M 3GHz CPU, 512MB RAM (now upgraded to 1GB), 60GB HD and DVDRW drive under the hood, it's certainly no slouch either. Other than games, the A60 runs circles around most Centrino notebooks out there. OK so it's big and heavy. If you, however, think of it as a small desktop and not a large notebook then you'll come to appreciate its design and functionality. The hugh 12-cell Li-ion battery will only give you about 3 hours of juice, but as a desktop replacement notebook this is more than enough (for me anyway).

    If you don't tend to lug notebooks around a lot, then save yourself some cash and get the A60.

    Hope this helps.
