That's a great price. How much does the laptop cost?

How does $400 (delivered) with a free printer compare to a dedicated handheld GPS?

I guess we'll have to sew on some bigger pockets to carry that puppy around. How many dinners will I have to buy my wife to get her to agree to hold the laptop on top of her lap as we navigate Europe?

J62 - 2006 has the SiRFstar II technology, which is inferior to the III version included with 2007. I don't suggest buying it.

Zeus - if you need to carry a notebook computer in your pocket, I suggest you look for an 8&quot; or 10&quot; model. I use an iPAQ 6510 with google.com/gmm/gps.html in that role.
