I think he makes a serious error, however: he only considers full XP
systems, leaving out the cheaper Linux systems, with less disk or SDD
only storage.
But it's interesting to see what the civilians want.
Me, I want something with very little storage, with a flip screen so
converts to a tablet and is a good book reader and has a enough
battery life so that I don't drag around a power brick. I guess
that's around 5 hours. Oh, and is $350 max.
