Don't get XP - 20GB Ram on Linux models but o...
It does all that is said - assuming you've just started using it - but see cons for XP
Does all it says' - until you have used it a couple of days - then it fills up all C drive (4GB) ...why?... because XP has taken over 3GB!!. It is a crippling restriction of usability.

"Nifty but has some drawbacks"
By Mic111pb (cnet.com)Read the full review
After I first got this set up I really wanted...
small, good specs, fast enough to not seem slow, comes in different colors, nice touch pad with tap touch and easy to use mouse buttons, comes with case and other extras
screen is terrible, no instructions on how to reset the pointers to D drive, my docs, temp etc. This is a must do so should be included as release notes. Keyboard too small.
