I needed to replace my x61 in January and did not want to spend a lot. I picked up the 1830 core i3, put in a 128 SSD and bumped the ram to 8. It is awesome. Boots in 17 seconds and wakes from sleep in about 2 (takes longer to enter my password). The best news of all? Batteries and extra power adapters are CHEAP.Â
View Sonic ViewBook VB730 7-Inch Android 2.2 Wi-Fi/BT Tablet for $70? I don’t think so.
Sorry, that should have read $170. Amazon has a funny way of cutting off a few characters in links from time to time.Â
