Anyway you can always upgrade. But I think you will buy it because it's cheap but still a computer. Upgrading would cost you something and they you can buy a better notebook with the money.

Some computers have SSD and a hard drive. Maybe they have installed XP on the SSD because SSD is faster then a hard drive... don't know...

Good points mentioned, Larrabee. Although, I would be curious to see what has been potentially stripped out of the XP install for the 4GB systems. A clean install of XP has the potential to weigh in at well under 1.5GB. Ah, now the tweaker is coming out in me, lol. I'd love to cook up an XP Embedded version to install, just to see how little I could get to run on that thing. I wonder if they've changed default settings for pagefile size, etc. 4GB really is quite limiting... I'd be interested in seeing what the manufacturer's original scope of the 4GB machine was. Goooooogle to the rescue (maybe)! =)
