    thinking about buying 2760p but have some questions.

    why specifically buy this mobile pc tablet? particularly over lenovo thinkpad x220t?

    also is it possible to have an ssd solid state drive as the main drive and a second hdd hard disk drive somewhere?
    heard hdd is the bottleneck in performance and ssd is faster but less reliable and can suddenly break down and lose everything.
    so wanna use a ssd to boot and run everything and save everything like personal files that cant be recovered on a hdd.

    and if you have windows xp professional and installed it over windows 7 and installed all the drivers would it work fine?
    is it difficult? how long would that take?

    please help, anyone.

    X220t vs 2760p - Opinions vary but for more info jump over to here:
    Tablet PC Forums, Discussion and Support

    I've owned both and liked both but do kind of prefer the 2760p(2740p) while the X220 has fantastic battery life.

    Drives: You can have one drive and that's about it.
    Reliability: Rubbish. In all honesty you take your chances with BOTH types and I've not had an SSD fail... yet

    Grab yourself a 64Gb SDHC card or portable HDD for backup.

    Huh? Do you want XP or Windows 7? Windows 7 is far, far better for touch and stylus use and there's plenty of tweaks for both to improve speed. More answers if you go to the link above.
