         Overall, this laptop stinks. It's heavy, powerhungry and gets very hot  
         (too hot, often it will shut itself down to prevent meltdown).  
         A lot of hardware works only mediocre. The battery doesn't last long.  
         It's huge/bulky. It's *extremely* noisy. But, it *does* run OpenBSD.  
         And, when properly cooled, it's pretty fast (2.6 GHz). Why anyone  
         would need that much CPU in a laptop is beyond me, but it's there.

         An older but still very useable laptop. Not too fast, but fast enough  
         for some DivX viewing with mplayer and firefox/thunderbird-use (not  
         for the impatient though, but then again, what is?). The fan can get  
         a bit loud after many power-on hours. This also impacts battery  
         lifetime, but that is to be expected. Nice and well supported.

         Very nice laptop indeed. Quiet, boots very fast, most hardware is  
         supported. Only APM doesn't work very well. Pretty fast, not too  
         heavy, very OpenBSD-friendly - just like its predecessor, the Tecra  
         8000. Battery can get a bit rusty, works good from 100% to 50%, then  
         drops to ~3% in minutes. Not too strange for an older machine though.
