A second chance. Reconditioned ThinkPads and Dell Latitudes are sometimes significantly cheaper than their new counterparts. It may be yesterdays technology, but matt, high resolution displays, business (heavy usage) keyboards, or SmartCard readers will be provided at bargain prices.

Shark-Design. If mini, then at least with style. The swinging forms are conspicuous, the case is grippy in the hand, and the matte HD Ready display gives good oversight of the desktop. Does the Dual-Core shark also impress in terms of battery life?
