I remember reading that article... and thats what I did.... lenovo x41t pent 4..put windows 7 on it...even with 1.5gb ram it runs real nice... nice 12 inch screen... stylus... ereader...bed web surfing... the 8 cell extended battery should get me into the 10 hour range with screen dimming, bluetooth/wifi turned off and powersaving setting... its hard to beat... esp for the price vs new netbook tablets and new big tablets...
