Hi Tyler,
Well actually I have XP on it. It has a 14.1 inch screen and I
really liked the responsive touch of the keyboard. Everything works
except for the usb on it is 1.0, and the cd drive doesn't read real
well all the time. It only has an 800meg processor and a 20 gb hard
drive. I would have been willing to get a bigger hard drive for it
if it wasn't for the exsorbidant price they want for parts. If I
remember correctly, a new CD replacement drive for it ran somewhere
around 100 bucks.

What do you mean basic functions still work on it?
