This reminds me of why my old 2003 Toshiba Portege R100 so far has been my favourite alltime laptop.

- It was thinner overall than a Macbook Air, BEFORE it came out (watching people get hyped about Air's was just a snooze)

- Transreflexive screen in color (like that "daylight computer" in TFA), not the brightest when it comes to light but certainly bright enough, and more improtantly worked 100% without issues outside in the sun (turning the screen _towards_ the sun was actually a better choice!). It's really a shame they went out of favour for "glossy" displays.

- Extra ram and that Pentium M cpu that was neck-to-neck with P4's for certain workloads (telling people of compile times had people in disbelief)
