S'very light and easy to carry around.
I like the big gap between the screen and the body

Hi All,
First some info:
I have an old Acer Travelmate 529ATX with 512Mb RAM(its max). It has a
P111 (coppermine) about 900 MHz and a 120GB HDD. At the moment I am
running PCLinuxOS and dual booting with XP.
I have given Linux a 10GB file system drive
