This has been my personal carry-around laptop for a while, and has served great in that respect. Its a good size, not too thick or heavy, and not so expensive that you don't want to actually take it places. Solid and durable and holds up great to pretty much anything (even the display backplate is solid metal).

Runs perfectly and looks great. More than enough power for mobile applications, and extremely expandable with a large range of Ultrabay accessories. The high-res screen option makes it good for Photoshop and web browsing with several windows open, or playing games like EVE (which it ran fine depending on the options).

any preinstalled software?

Its a fresh install of XP Pro SP3 with all the updates. COA is on the machine.

I also put on an up to date antivirus (the old NCSU one), Office, Winrar, and the CCCP codec pack. That's it, but if you need something particular I probably have it.
