Not too bad . Might need to upgrade the memory . 64 k is puny

I purchased one of those notebooks two days ago, and it came in today. The speed is tolerably slow due to the 64MB of RAM. I would strongly suggest anyone looking at this computer to consider spend an extra 40 to 80 to upgrade the RAM. This is otherwise a very solid performing machine.

Did yours come with a floppy drive? I wanna know if i have to spend an additional 40 bux on a usb one.

 

[hwz8b]

Nope, it didn't come with a floppy drive. You might need to get the usb floppy drive or dispense with it all together. I personally would rely on the built-in nic connection to connect to my school network for file transfers.

I picked up the N160 a few months ago when they had there $500 off promotion. I think it is similar to the 150 except it has a p3 1gig and 256mb ram (just a higher end model I think).

I love it so far. The only problem I have had (which also affected my old compaq laptop), is that if I boot into winblows 98SE with my USB hub hooked up (D-link 4 port), I get a CONFIGMG error and windows doesn't load.

I am eventually gonna put 2k on it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. The Hub works fine in Red Hat linux though, so it is definately OS related.
