This is a very nice system for the price, especially if you take advantage of
the Ultabase with DVD option.

My daughter, a true road warrior, has one and absolutely loves it.

There is _one_ known quirk with the system however. Some users have reported
that when the unit is in the Ultrabase, the internal battery in the laptop is
_not_ charged. The battery has to be taken out of the laptop and put in the
Ultrabase. It's _supposed_ to charge the laptop's battery and then a battery in
the Ultrabase.

However, when a battery is in the Ultrabase it will not charge unless the laptop
is docked. Go figure.

Regards,

James
