I have a user with one of these Verison-HPs. The keyboard is reasonable and performance is OK for Office 2007. In the days of people using two monitors with their desktop, the biggest drawback is the micro-screen. You can feel really constrained for screen space so, it usage is limited to travel. I suppose you could plug in an external monitor. If I remember right the monitor port is non-standard so you have to buy a dongle if you want to use an external monitor.

It is definitely an HP - they make no effort to cover the logo. 2. It has WiFi and G3, but it has no RJ-45 jack. (There is probably a USB RJ-45 ethernet adaptor out there some place.) 3. Standard is 1 Gb RAM, 80 Gb hard drive, and a flavor of XP. 4. The keyboard is full-size. 5. No optical drive, but it does have an SD card slot. -- Richard D.
