I just bought one for my wife a week or two ago. For P40K it think it was well worth it. I mean -- a 6-in-1 media card reader; 4 usb ports; serial, parallel, VGA and S-Video ports; irda; 802.11 g; gigabit ethernet and a combo drive. What more could you ask for? It practically has all the bells and whistles with the only exception of bluetooth.
The downside? I read a review from somewhere that the LCD display was a bit dim. Well, it is a bit on the soft side but it does not bother me at all. The display is good enough for me. Besides, a bright LCD is too strenuous, at least, for my myopic eyes. About the battery life, is two to two-and-a-half hours good enough for you? Actually I had to choose between an entry level Acer Travelmate and an nx6120. The Acer really looked great given the generous amounts of silver it had on its casing. Really looked high-tech plus the ergonomic keyboard really looked cool. But the HP is not bad looking either given its classic slate-grey finish. Obviously I made my decision not solely based on looks. Feature-per-feature, I think HP has an advantage over the Acer. On the other hand, the Acer is equipped with an SIS video card while HP relies on Intel. Don't know which one is better but my gut feel tells me that Acer wins on this department. Oh, the scroll down feature of nx6120's Touchpad was quite a revelation too. Didn't know that notebooks these days came with this feature. =) I haven't installed Linux however. My wife has been hogging the machine for the past few for her freelance work. Can't wait to lay my hands on the freshly burned CentOS 4 at the office. Should you buy it? Short answer is YES! As of today, the price has come down by P500 (Grr!!!). On 8/2/05, JC de Villa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anybody using an nx6120?
