Pros: I love this laptop compared to all my other friends and collegues laptops. I like that its 14.1" screen size...not too small and not too large and cumbersome. It is also very thin, but it is extremly sturdy, even though sometimes I think I might be holding it in one hand too much. It is light compared to all my friend's laptops. I am a graduate student, and it portays a business minded image. I have had no stability issues. It has performed flawlessly for me thus far. I am currently upgrading the RAM from 512MB to 1.5GB. I do not have any issues with the 512 for my usage, I am just greedy I guess. FEATURES I LIKE: -Ambient Light Sensor: which automatically adjust the brightness of the screen acording to ambient lighting present -Built in SD card reader -Both pointing stick and touchpad -one touch presentation button -onboard mic -Security lock feature which can also be set to lock your hard drive permanently in case you have highly sensitive data on your hard drive. Overall, I am in love with this laptop. I hope it give me many more years of trouble free service.
Cons: no on-screen display of volume meter, can not get my bluetooth to work ( I do not have much use for it though)
A Solid Performing Business Notebook

Pros: This is an excellent business notebook that has a great keyboard, good performance, and simple design. I have yet to find any features that irritate me enough to return the notebook, and I have been through at least 4 notebooks looking for the right fit. The NC6200 series is a great alternative for anyone looking to buy a business notebook with a ThinkPad design. It is my opinion that this notebook has a better build that the ThinkPad T43. The T43 has a poor build, especially on the palm rest that creak with constant motion and pressure. The NC6200 series has a completely solid feel.
Cons: Battery(HP COMPAQ PB994A) performance is ok, but for a business notebook battery performance should be more of a focus. Lack of an intergrated fingerprint reader and built in microphone. Additionally, the edges of the notebook should be smoother, especially around the palm rest.
