A couple things I left out: I don't know why you would need an external CD/DVD. Maybe if you have a favorite piece of legacy software and really don't want to learn how to rip an .iso and run a virtual drive, but then you are shelling out for a rather cumbersome piece of hardware that you will use...once.
Regarding the memory, most of these machines upgrade very easily, but I'm finding mine runs quite fast (especially Firefox) with the stock 1GB running XP.

But it recovers faster from hibernating than from being shut down, so I don't really shut it down much anyways. I usually keep it hibernating.

I don't have hibernation enabled. Doesn't hurt to be safe, but mine is always cool to the touch when I pull it out. The convenience of a machine that 'boots' in three seconds is pretty incredible, and better yet if I'm reading, put it away, and pull it out later to resume reading; it's faster than fishing out and opening a pbook.
