But the real annoyance is the overall design. The power jack is on the right. so if you use an external mouse and are right handed, the chord comes in your way.

The head phone jack is in the front. So, you really cannot keep this laptop on your lap and listen to music with a headphone - not unless you are comfortable with the headphone jack pocking your abdomen.

battery life is much less than advertised. If you use the wireless network, then mine gives just 3 hours.

1.6GHZ Centrino,

I bought this computer from amazon and have been using it for the past week. The computer took a day or two before the system start to run smoothly.
-60 GB hard drive is spacious is not so fast. There is noticable delay when launching applications.
-Very good graphics, I have been using it to run some of the latest 3D games and I enjoyed very high frame rate and good DVD quality (the intervideo win DVD that comes with the computer is probalby not full version. I recommend Cyberlink's Power DVD 5.0, which has full wide-screen support).
-The 15.4 inch WSXGA is very good buttook me a couple of days to get used to. Be sure to set your windows font size to "large" or else you will kill your eyes in 3 days. Wide screen is especially helpful for my work with excell spread sheets or multi-tasking where you need to open multiple windows and still want to see them a the same time.
-This computer is wide but it fits into your back pack easily. weighing at 6.5 pounds is a little heavy for frequent traveler but it will fit everybody's elses need. I travel often to the school library and the wieght of the computer has not yet been an obstacle.
-Looks a lot better than the Dell latitude D800
-great wirless connection: unless you play on-line game when you're going wirless(which most people don't) 802.11b will suffice.

I give it a 4 becuase there are some designs I don't like about this computer but the overall experience is great.
-no built-in microphone
-head phone socket at the fron- can be annoying if you use external speakers
-power outlet at the right of the computer- if you're right handed and use a mouse this can be annoying.
-Shorter-than-advertised battery life: my computer can go little over 3 hours(where HP boasts 4 hours of battery life). I would like it to go longer.

The nx7000 is good overall-- definitely the best choice of wide-screen desktop replacements on the market now. If you do need much graphic power I highly recommend the compaq x1010, which is essential the same thing as this one but with lower processor clock, less VRAM, lower screen resolution, which many people should find satisfactory. the HP models , however, "look" a lot nice with it's color scheme. just something to keep in mind if the looks of a computer matters a lot to you.
