doubt it, I think the HD space it would require would rule that out, if they did then it would not be a solid state, and that kinda ruins the purpose for it!

Dumb question from me maybe but if windows gets corrupted how will you reinstall or do a repair? I know it doesn't have a optical drive but do you get a copy of windows with the purchase other than the one preinstalled? I'm a little confused.

Im just miffed that for $100.00 more you can get a Dell Inspirion with a T2370 cpu and more ram and a hdd. 4gb isnt meant for much.

Yeah, I can see where your getting at. But for little kids, that just need something for school and so forth, its a start.. Thats the way I look at it. Cheap thing that parents won't be mad at if they break.

Theses things are great, you can upgrade the sigle memory slot to a 2gb stick on all of the Eees besides the 2g I read that version or ones with sodered dims cant have a ram upgrade!

I like now small theses are, very good for people who walk/bus to school and work.

vista hdd spare require is relative :) (google on vlite) :)
the space can be added with usb stick or SDHC cards and some models can have a SSD :) (but the speed of the actual SSD on the market don't have more that 10-15% that one usb stick (like adata PD7)

Chewy

the ram modules are not sticked on the main board

early models have an independent SSD, now the 701 models have SSD 2-4GB on-bord (implemented on the mainboard)


actually the 701 series have a limit of 2 GB ram, this is from the cpu architecture and from the mainboard. also is a 32bit machine, so bye bye vista/xp on 64bit :)
