    I'm getting the 901 or 900 soon, but I can't really decide on which one to get. The 900 has a slower CPU (atleast on paper), but the 901 is ugly in comparison to the 900. How big difference is their between those two in terms of performance?

    I've also heard lately that running XP on the 901 is very choppy. Could anyone fill me in here?


    Thanks

    Id say the 1000H is the best one without a doubt.

    XP should run fine on the 901 as it should be pretty similar to my 1000H which runs Vista Business and XP Pro fine. Though I have heard that the SSD does seem slow at times.

    The SSD is slower than a hard drive and offers you less storage space at the same time.

    That is not the main reason I would go with the 1000H tho, its the keyboard & screen size too.

    Another vote for the 1000H here. Just makes more sense.

    1000H. The keyboard on the 90x are way too small.
