Description: Centrino based 15" TFT laptop with touchpad mouse. Configuarble on purchase with different RAM, CPU. CCRW/DVD & floppy builtin. Centrino WiFi not supported in my kernel but I've no doubt that it'll work when needed. All other goodies (sound, USB, LAN, TV-out) work fine in Slackware 10 which installed straight on and fired everything up.
Fine workhorse laptop for student/office with plenty of battery life...this thing runs for hours.

Just to add that the Linuxant Centrino Wifi driver works like a charm. It'll cost you $20 but it works.
