A very tough little notebook. The rubber covered keyboard is hard to use and there is no CD drive. The computer has a tendency to lock up, usually at the most inopportune time. This is probably because it was purchased with the minimum amount of RAM. The screen is quite bright and easy to read, even or its smaller size. A good general "starter" notebook for an agency looking to purchase relatively inexpensive rugged notebooks for the patrol force. NOT recommended for experienced high-end users.
