It borders on misleading advertising. I'd say for the price, it's pretty hard to beat. For $50 more, there's this Toshiba Satellite L20 Notebook, Celeron M 360, 1.4GHz, 256MB DDR2, 40GB, 15" TFT, DVD-ROM/CD-RW, WLAN, WinXP Home Almost the same, except Toshiba vs HP, Intel vs AMD, plus the Toshiba has WLAN. After dealing with Ascent and PBTech, I haven't had a negative experience with either, but my gut instinct is Ascent is a little more respectable. www.ascent.co.nz	kingdragonfly (309)

PB offers some warrentee, but it's advantage is that it is cheaper than Ascent (once you work in the +2% for not paying in cash).	Faded_Mantis (79)
