Small notebook shootout - part II - Conclusion

For not-such-a-small-amount-of-money, this is a pretty good choice if you're searching for "The Ultranotebook" for yourself. Yes, it could've been a bit better in terms of battery life and price, but one of the reasons why the price might be a bit higher then I'd like is the fact that it has two batteries. Almost everything else in bundle is exactly the same when compared to F9Dc, with the same "problems (lack of FireWire port) and one USB port more which is always welcome on any notebook.

Also, included with this notebook - you get Vista Home Premium, a bunch of CDs and DVDs (stuff for restore, as well), and a mouse. Security-lovers are gonna appericiate the fact that it has TPM and FP reader like the F9Dc so - that base is also covered. And with 2-year international warranty, you can be relaxed about this thing being unusable or broken.

Let's go on, the third part of our series takes us to the cheapest member of this - so far - "Destinguished Trio" of notebooks that just got another sibiling to the roundup - ASUS's V1J. So, stay tuned - tomorrow, it's MSI PR200 day.
