And a year later, it's still brilliant. We've travelled several times with it, including a month across Europe, and it's been simply excellent.

So much so, that I just splurged $75 and purchased a 1366x768 LCD to replace the factory MS-spec'd 1024x600 screen. The replacement slotted in without a hitch, was recognized by the BIOS and software, and works beautifully. Same physical screen size, but 70% more pixels than before.

Battery life is still good -- 8-9 hours on a charge, and the new screen doesn't seem to affect things one way or the other.
