S35 Review
The former webmaster of this site on his new S35 Aptiva:
I purchased an S35 on 8-1-97 and so far it has proven to be everything
the M40 is not. The biggest issue: GOOD BYE MWAVE. The new system has a
Crystal soundcard that does not hang when it plays sounds. It also has a
separate Lucent Winmodem (56k upgradeable) that can do I-phones without
requiring that the connection speed be only 14400.
The system has YET to hang (as of 8-9-97) and I have been testing it
hard. The cordless mouse works beyond my expectations, the remote
control is a nice touch, and the system turns its own subwoofer on and
off; making it pretty much invisible until a good game is played. The
system it FAST, the hard drive is big, and it comes with more memory
that I could ever dream of.
As far as I can tell now, there is nothing on this machine that needs
tweaking right out of the box. IBM has it pretty much dialed in. I would
thoroughly recommend this system to anyone who doesn't mind paying a
little more for the fun extras that IBM is famous for including.

....Happy I bought it/More happy to be rid of the Mwave.
