I agree. They're not what I buy for the Co. employees (they get Dells). I bought them for the weight & integrated 1394, 100bT, Modem & VGA output. I just bought a couple of Dell Latitues with the 1.3Ghz Pentium M. I haven't used them extensively, but they seemed well built with a good # of integrated components (ethernet, modem, wireless).
