I'm still on my ZaReason laptop.  The battery is on its way out,
and I haven't bothered replacing it (since I'm usually using it
from home), but it's been a great workhorse.  I eventually moved
the HDD that it came with out into an external eSATA drive enclosure,
and put an SSD in the laptop.  Using the HDD for monthly backups
via BackInTime.  Between the SSD and, uh, I guess Upstart boot
process in recent Ubuntus?, it boots _very_ quickly. :)
