IMHO, the E6400 is too big to carry around often. Other than that it feels okay quality-wise. Do not get the edition with an NVIDIA graphics card, if you want, e.g., XV (overlay video) support (it requires their binary blob driver, which is only available for Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, AFAIK). The laptop's otherwise fast Core 2 Duo processor is not able to software scale videos to fullscreen smoothly.
