Cons: Vista compatibility, eats ram for breakfast
I got this laptop to replace my ancient P4 Win2K desktop. While at first Vista was a pain in my rear, many companies have now released drivers for the software and all but 1 of my programs works. A few are buggy (foobar2000, firefox) but if you REALLY wanna run them from your old system, install Microsoft's VirtualPC. They released it so that you wouldn't have to deal with DualBooting and all that nonsense.
The only other thing is I had to buy 2 gigs of ram for this. It comes with 2 512 chips, so I couldn't buy 1 gig to add on. I had to replace it completely. Fortunately ram is very cheap on Newegg. After installing 2 gigs the system flies. I have yet to test more things on it but so far so good.
