market and technology advances.

3. Intresting little machine

Its kinda cute but only takes up to 2GB of ram. I know its not a windows box, but still. 2GB? I would hope that gOS can be mated to AD. Something like this is a perfect office PC.

4. I bought my Compaq notebook at best Buy for $449

120GB HD, 2GB ram, Vista premium, DVD burner, 1.6 duo core. Wonderful + WIFI built in.

I think the notebook is the better deal. And my BFF bought a killer Sony for $599.
