Contemplating on getting one of those Crusoe based computers but I want to know if it performs as good as the Athlons or Pentium IVs. Perhaps Sacha can tell us how her Lifebook's performing... ;-)

You might even be able to lower the price if you ask the vendor not to pre-install Windows. If you ask me, this is a great buy for anyone who needs to lug a PC from home to work and back, or who travels a lot but will not mind connecting to the AC outlet when using the notebook PC. I am not a salesman for ECS, but I feel that we have been snobbing the Crusoe in favor of P4. Remember that Linus Torvalds helped design the Crusoe chip exactly for this purpose (portables).
