Mini-laptops
There are a lot of mini-laptops popping up nowadays, and many of them use solid-state memory instead of traditional hard drives. Kind of like an on-the-mobo flash drive. The problem is that such "hard drives" are limited in size. Can a modern PC really function on 16GB of hard drive? Once you've loaded XP and Office and auntie Virus (she's a sweet old lady), is there any room for anything else?
Yes, I know that full installs of xp and office are about 1.5 and 3 GB, respectively, and I can do the math.
But is 16GB really enough for anything other than running a browser and checking e-mail?
