Depends what you need the space for. As I said in my initial post, anything like this in size and you pay a very hefty premium for it. It sounds as though the build is excellent, and all the reviewers are raving about it - yet to see a bad review. Apparently XP fits on this with 2 gig to spare. With the soon to come 8gig version you would have 6 gig. You can add storage in the external slots, or a 2.5" drive via USB. Depends what you wnat it for - nice compact computer for e-mails, web-browsing, documents, presentation etc. Great to take with you on holidays, especially if you can get wifi access somewhere. I would be interested to try Portable EMIS on it.
