Includes the 6-cell battery. Easy access to upgrade memory and hard drive. Integrated Bluetooth. Great battery life. Available in different colors. A/c power adapter is compact and light. All this at a very good price point. We’ve tried the keyboard and find it satisfactory.
Dislikes
Some complaints about the keyboard being a bit cramped. Bluetooth is controlled by function key and must be turned on each time.

Check the model you’re buying, as some of the later ones ship with Win 7 starter instead of Windows XP, if that matters to you. The price will also change depending on the battery included (4,400 mAh rated 6-cell battery vs 5,600 mAh 6-cell battery) and size of the hard drive (160 GB vs 250 GB). If you’re interested in saving the money, you probably won’t miss the 2 hours or so less battery time and the smaller hard drive. If you’re doing a lot of Trans-Atlantic flights, you might want those two extra hours.
