Yeah, Winbook has some very nice models out there. I'd like to get (someday)
a fully loaded new J1 model - 1 GHz, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB HD at only US$2200!!
You gotta admit - for the money it's a really sweet 'Book. Design is similar
to the TiBook - pretty stylish for a PC. (And personally, I'd take out ME
and install 98SE. A friend has ME - it likes to dial up the Internet at
various times :-o )
Laptop Magazine (July '01) rates the J1 as a Best Buy (ironically, alongside
another Dell laptop). Heat doesn't seem to be an issue (yah!), but a flimsy
keyboard is.
Good luck,
Matthew
