 NEC Ready 340T Notebook Computer User's Log

The factory settings for these things were like only two or three minutes respectively, which would drive a user crazy trying to change the settings (or get anything else done) before the machine would seem to die on them (the screen would go fl, and mouse and keyboard stop responding).
Now if you're a very light user-- or have a desktop in addition to a notebook so each may complement the other-- the notebook would be much more practical.
