What do you guys think about AOpen's 1547 Notebook?

[Trente]

Hi,

I live in Israel, and this one is very cost-effective here.
Comes with Mobile P4 1.8GHz, 30GB HDD, 256MB DDR-RAM and a 15" Display size.

I guess there is no DVD, but then again, a CD-ROM will do...

Thing is, I have not been able to find any input concerning this model except for AOpen's site:

So, to make things short, I need any information I can get about this Notebook... (=Reviews)

TIA
