it is quite slow and noisy when the fan runs, which is much more often than i liked. i suggest if you get one, don't use it for anything except email and file copying or viewing. i had one fully tricked out and with a fast 60GB hard drive. i had Photoshop CS on it and it was really slow. some versions of applications, especially games, won't install because the Transmeta processor doesn't emulate enough of a Pentium III instruction set for the games and graphics stuff. my video editing software refused to install even though all i planned to use it for was to do trimming of clips.

My wife gave me here Fujitsu P2120 subnotebook after her work got her another subnotebook. The P2120 has 256MB of ram, but upgradable to 512. Harddrive is 30gb, but I've read they can be upgraded to at least 80gb. I'm using PS6 on it and even though it's only 256MB of ram it still does what I want quickly. I wouldn't use it for batch stuff, or use it with Nikon Capture. BTW, they have two USB 2.0 slots. My main reason for taking this is so I can go to a client's house and quickly show them how pics will look after some basic post. All my main editting is done on a Dell desktop.
Here is a site I found and it seems to be useful for subnotebook users:

Ebay search for subnotebook turned up a pair of P2120s for $525 BIN.
