Any opinions on it?! Sounds =>like a good deal... => I have been using a 1400HD for about 6 months now and am very pleased with it. While a pretty heavy unit with disappointing battery life, I found it to be a durable workhorse. I even had a case where the thing was dropped on the floor, while the hard drive was active. No damage! At $1199, this is an excellent buy!
