    Is there another notebook at or below $899 that has EVERY ONE of these features? This notebook looks like it has eveyrthing I want, but I'm unsuer if it has everything I want.

    AMD Turion 64 1.8GHz 1MB
    100GB 4200RPM
    14" WXGA
    ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M IGP 128MB
    802.11b/g
    56k/LAN
    FireWire, S-Video, 6-in-1, 3x USB 2.0
    512MB PC2700 DDR
    DVD±RW/CD-RW

    The only thing I would add would be 1GB or 2GB or ram and a 12 cell battery.
