Actually, depending on your perspective an 80GB HD is more than an 40GB SSD.
Other than that, I think they are the same so I have a feeling a lot of
average users will see the xp with 80GB as better and it's also cheaper.
That was my point. People who know more about hardware will probably see the
SSD as the better option although it costs $50 more for 40GB less. That is
on the 1000 model. I wonder if that 40GB is broken up like on the earlier
models. On the 901 model you still get more space for the same price on
Linux over xp. I was mainly disappointed to see a windows model selling for
less with more space - even though it's not SS.
