Thanks Michael. Any modern alternatives?

So far the market really hasn't created anything that can surpass that TC1100 or a Toshiba M4. (Though the M4 was reported being a bit heavy for lugging around.)

Someone needs to make a modern processor, modern os, solid state drive, NVidia graphics, wacom enabled, pen tablet p.c. Trouble is it would probably be as much as a stand alone desktop system. I'm hoping to get the TC1100 for under $300.oo. Even if I get a new battery and upgrade to Windows 7 I'll still be ahead.

Don't know if the TC1100 can be upgraded to a solid state drive. It would improve battery life and system speed if possible.
