I bought one of these from PCWorld and its pretty damn good. the performance is ok for browsing and other tasks like that. definately not a gaming notebook. the battery life is excellent which is the reason i chose this model.

The Core 2 Duo T5500 is a bottom of the range core 2 duo, which is dual celeron core, so dont expect too much from it.

The whole media center edition thing is just irritating though, as is all the unnessecary crap they have running in the system tray by default, but Ubuntu Edgy soon sorted that out ;-)
