Wink · 20th December 2004, 8:37 PM

With the the new Joybook 6000 to be released in Australia soon, I managed to get a decent buy with the older Joybook 6000N.
Specs are:
Centrino
1.6ghz P-M
512MB RAM
12.1" Widescreen
40GB HDD
802.11B

External 24x CD-RW / 8x DVD-ROM
2x USB2.0
1x IEEE1394
Card reader
Bluetooth
VGA out

Anyway some pics:

Pimp shot

Book mode... funky

Big brother and little brother. The boxy thing on the right is the external optical drive.

iPod and laptop

Got some plans for it...
- Shoving Linux onto it
- Need a KVM
- Need a small wireless Bluetooth mouse

That is a sweet looking little notebook. Super small is definately the way to go if you are buying a notebook. Mind if I ask how much u paid and where from?

I don't think so, it can only replicate what's being shown on the laptop screen.

Very nice looking laptop, you know that white monitor in that picture just does not belong.

Grr I know.
I was tossing up between a laptop or a new 20" LCD and I went for the laptop. Gotta get rid of this 19" beige horror ASAP...
