 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 chassis was standard, slightly heavier than other laptops, but, still, comfortable due to rounded corners. The laptop's case is not very durable as cracks are coomon. This is the single most annoying feature of the laptop, as the smell, dirt and stickiness of its gets worse as the laptop aged. Unfortunately the rest of the chassis also has problems due to the slight brittle plastic that frequently cracks due to age or shocks, especially for the frame around the keyboard and screen. The lid closing latch is well designed and durable. The display hinges are very well engineered even if they may not look to be anything special. The integrated speakers are quite bad for a laptop due to their size and mouting.

Combined with the lack of proper cooling, the design seems seriously flawed. The lid closing latch is well designed and durable. The display hinges are moderately ressistant although cracks near them are common. The integrated speakers are quite bad for a laptop due to their size and mounting.
 The standard HDDs are quite a very good choice for any Windows 98 SE installation supporting the UDMA33 interface that allows a typical top performance of around 15MB/s transfers, if the harddrive can keep up. Replacing the harddrive is straightforward as the system accepts most late Pentium III era drives for a real speed boost.
