I have a 901 here, and it's all I wanted from a tiny machine.  I was
disappointed with the 701, despite its good performance, because the
screen was just too small.  The 901 gets it just right (though I hope
the price comes down a bit).

It's trivially easy to add extra memory, USB ports and SDD inside the
machine, and I find that the supplied Xandros is OK, but it runs so much
faster if you install Puppy Linux.

It might be worth waiting for the price to drop a bit.
