My ramblings on the stuff that holds it all together
Tiny Laptop for £229 with solid state HDD
Posted by on October 31, 2007
I generally wouldn’t touch anything other than a Dell/HP/IBM laptop with a bargepole for reasons of spares availability/cost… but at £229 inc VAT this is almost disposable if something dies.
It’s tiny and has a (small) solid state HDD but SD card reader slot to allow you to add more storage space.

No Bluetooth but has a £40 option for adding an integrated 3G modem very cool.
I had a P133 Toshiba Libretto years ago and it was ace.. I like the idea of this..
Linux OS only at the moment (+VMWare maybe?) but WinXP in near future
And a bit of an update to this post Bryce posted a great link to a site covering upgrades to this mini notebook – 2Gb RAM upgrade, how to install other software & WinXP. Must, resist… must… http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4062
