You need to go play with one. Mine is actually a tx2525nr, AMD 2GHz, 3G Ram,
machine and it is very responsive. This is the second machine I have that is
using the 64B OS, and they run circles around machines I have running 32B
Vista. My desktop is a Quad processor, 2.4GHz box with 4G of RAM, but the
32B OS (yea I know what that does to my 4G of RAM), but still the little
lappy is much more responsive. Go play with one. Not sure where you are, but
around here, BestBuy, Circuit City and OfficeDepot had them sitting out.
Make them find you a stylus, or bring your own, (yes, digital).
