The 600 is an awesome little laptop. I had a 600E for many, many years. Perfect form factor. If the battery would have been functional and I could have added a bit more memory I'd still be using it. When I sold it, it was still pretty much in like-new condition except for the battery. At almost 10 years old that is pretty amazing for a laptop.
