Yay for non-SSD drives!

arstechnica said it helped when you got to multitasking a bit, but that's it. no where worth the extra $1000 for the option. Very disappointing really. I can't even recommend it to people who it's targeted toward.

I am patiently awaiting revision 2.0.. of this and the Eee PC 🙂

What does the Cloudbook have that the Eee doesn't?

Faster processor + real hard drive (30gb). Plus I like the design.

I guess I should say all of those types of systems, heh. Real HDD is nice, but heavier, no? I just want to see improvements to drive costs down 🙂 My budget for one keeps shrinking...

I thought the benefits of an SSD drive would be either battery life or longevity (no moving parts) as well...
