Other features include a battery-saving AMD Sempron 2600+ processor, 40 GB hard drive, multi-format memory card reader, Firewire port for connecting your digital camcorder, and a TV-out connection for hooking up to your TV.

The Basics

• Hard Drive: The 40 GB IDE hard drive is on the small side compared to other notebooks. However, it does offer a decent enough capacity for storing documents and productivity software for road warriors--but not enough for much multimedia storage.
