I bought mine off Ebay, =A3125 second hand including CD-ROM, power adapte= r and a battery (tested for 90mins - I usually get about that out of it).

The only two things I would have liked my CF25 to have are Cardbus-capabl= e slots (so I can use WLAN and USB cards) and maybe USB. The CF-25 Mk3 has Cardbus, but not USB...
