The LCD TFT screen is somewhat alright but it uses a dated technology that results in low brightness, relatively low contrast due to the vertical rather than horizontal, higher power CCFL sidelight. | The LCD TFT screen is somewhat alright but it uses a dated technology that results in low brightness, relatively low contrast due to the vertical rather than horizontal, higher power CCFL sidelight. | ||
The typical CPU implementation is very good. The Pentium 2 CPUs are Deschutes so they do not heat as much as typical desktop CPUs of the time. The active cooling is quite bat, overly noisy and ineffective, with a very tiny fan. The inclusion of an USB 1.0 port is a major feature. The keyboard is durable and with good tactile feedback.

The trackpad is average in terms of response and sensibility, on par with Dell laptops but clearly less sensitive than Trackpoint equipped laptops. The palm rest is quite comfortable. | ||
The removable drive tray is a nice feature, offering both CD-ROM and Floppy drive support. The rechargeable battery can be easily removed or replaced. The suspend battery is made out of a rechargeable NiMh battery that can degrade. BIOS and timekeeping battery is a standard CR2032 3V button cell. | The removable drive tray is a nice feature, offering both CD-ROM and Floppy drive support.
