AFAIK Best Buy has UL series laptops on display sometimes, but not necessarily this particular model. Amazon usually has the best price or one of the best prices on it.
You will love it, it's been nothing but amazing to me for the past two months. :D The battery life is crazy.
If IBM is your thing, it doesn't look like a bad laptop, but 5 pounds is still pretty heavy. Asus UL30A if you don't need a CD drive. 3.7 pounds with 10 hours battery life real world...
Definitely belongs elsewhere. Probably in Operating Systems?
Windows I'm assuming?
Activate Remote Desktop or VNC and use that. RDP is built into windows.
I've used it for a year on my server, and all I have to have connected to the machine is an ethernet cord and power.
For those of you that are interested, Amazon has this monitor at $330 with free shipping. Picked one up, we'll see how it goes.
Best deal out there for those of us in California right now...
