You got a laptop with 300 bucks and a 64G SSD for 300 bucks? I really really doubt that? I’ve seen those cheap Asus’ ones for 300 with a 8G “Flash” drive, but not 64G SSD.
Send me the link to where you bought that, please. Also does the one you bought run full win 7 or XP? Is it 64-bit or 32?
If it doesn’t run win 7 and it isn’t 64 bit, again it fails to meet my needs.
The reason I keep hitting on the SSD is for a true mobility you don’t want to be risking using hard drives with their moving parts (they fail a lot- at least on me).
Runs win 7 just fine. It’s only 32 bit though. No SSD. I have about 120 gigs onboard and about double that in externals. Converted my old hds on my old machines.
I live just down from the dell plant, so you usually get good deals on equipment.
I hear you.
The SSD is the premium part that costs so much in PCs that gives the Macbook Air its value (that and the fact that OSX is 64-bit os, while the budget PC’s usually can’t run win-64)
Man, good location to live at for technophiles like me. =)
I think it is just perfect.
Yeah, SSDs are most of the expense. I remember paying about 450 for my first computer back in 2000. It was a 486! Then I upgrading to a Pentium, about the same cost.
I’m very impressed with my machine.
