I own a compaq armada m300 notebook. The main reason I purchased this notebook for school was because of the size and weight. Being in trade school with copious amounts of books, one tries to keep the eccess weight down. Having a rediciously small and portable laptop had to come with someprices to pay, mainly in my case the lack of drives.This model came with a base that attaches with a CD-Rom and a floppy, but when detached it is super portable but has no means of transporting data.
I already owned a NetMD player, so I figured that i carryit all the time, why not get a hi-md for storage, which I did for christmas
So that was my reasoning for using the data storage capabilities, along with the ruggedness and such of course
