Would NOT recommend them for laptops. Called numerous times to research a pentium, always got friendly, helpful service. Never had trouble getting them on the phone. I many times wished I had tried to buy the whole thing from Midwest Micro. My soundbook II does not perform as promised.
Battery life is well under an hour with power management on.
Also power management locks the system up occassionaly. The mouse button caven in and having had enough I sent it back. It took them 3 week to fix it and then they sent the computer to my old address, even though I had given them 3 changes of address. When it arrived the mouse button was fixed, but the power saving mode still causes it to lock-up. On the phone they were little or no help.
