    It seems good deal if the buyer is looking for upgrade ssd & memory.
    This machine can handle up to 2gb ram you can grab it like less than 30 bucks. (it has only one memory slot)

    4gig is plenty unless this is your only computer. I have 6 computers that are using less than 4gig of HD storage, everything is pull from my 12TB server. Stream everything from a main computer or put a larger memory card in it for storing more stuff. great little computer, but I'm leaning to the new Mini 10 as it will do 720p much better than the 9.

    #4, 4 gig may be plenty with peace loving unix flavored OSes, but anyone getting the Mini with even the 8g SSD, should read up on how to maximize space and minimize apps if they want a good experience.

    #6 i dont think any netbooks have dvd drives.

    on another note, i ordered one of these on january 10th. it originally said shipping jan 27th which is stupid enough, then it got delayed until feb 4th, i called to cancel they wouldnt let me.

    then i got another email saying it was delayed yet again and asking if i wanted to cancel. i cancelled the order and got an aspire one at bestbuy which i returned a few days later when i realized netbooks arent good for much.
