L2005CL (Sam's Club version)
see:

Like it?

Seems OK. It had the features I was looking for at a reasonable price.

I would have preferred longer battery life, but I havn't really done
much testing to learn what to expect. The Pentium-M versions of the same
PC (DV1000 Series) may have better battery life.

I did add more memory as I frequently have several applications open at
one time.
Pleased with construction?

Yes.
What display size?

14 inch.

Is this model basically the Lance Armstrong model?

Also.... do you wish you'd went with the Pent M model?

Why did you go for the Turion? Just curious

Yes

Not really. That would have been another $200-250.

I went for the 64 bit model with the idea of eventually running Linux.
Waiting for Suse 10.0.

Thanks Craig

I'm in market for a laptop. Like to stay around 1k or
less.
