Over priced, but I like the design. Probably good for email, browsing,
viewing multimedia and maybe some older games. But, only comes with Vista.
Dell won't provide XP as an option or provide drivers for XP. Can't
recommend it as is.

Really? you like it?

Here are my initials thoughts on pros vs cons:

Pros:

Love the energy efficiency! Phenomenal low energy
usage!

Love the connectors and such

Cons;

HATE the form factor! Why do computer makers think I
want some kind of odd ball shaped case design? Id
rather have a "business like" Optiplex form factor.\
next to my TV as a media PC.

Also... why the super slow 5400 rpm drives? No option
for 7400 rpm? Blech!

I suspect it uses a common 5400 RPM laptop/2.5" drive.

The cost difference to a 7200RPM is not insignificant - but you'd think
they'd at least provide it as an option.
