Nothing if you just want to surf/email etc...doesn't look like it's got a hard drive, but usb storage is fine....and a tiny screen.

Looks like a good buy for it's intended purpose, probably won't run too many programs (don't know how you would load 'em anyway).

Just looked like something to keep
in the truck, and not worry too much
about what happens to it.

The Dell RCP posted about looked like a beter deal more memory and such but this has a larger screen.

It doesn't have a built-in cellular modem does it?

That's all I know (Menards ad).

I don't even know what questions
to ask. :laugh4:
Have to see what my Kiddo says.

533 Mghz is pretty slow these days.

Sounds like it's just an older machine that is underpowered by today's standards.

Seems like a fair price.

That thing will frustrate you more then help you, it's WAY too slow, has no memory, and it's running a 10 year old Operating system (Windows CE? That's a phone OS). Pass, spend about 200 more and get something that will run xp at the very least. My $.02
