    I'll have a TX25NB for a forthcoming trip, and if it "works" will keep it.

    HOWEVER, reviews indicate that [on Vista] this is a very slow computer.

    Can you either provide some help or direct me? We can clean out all the bloat that might be on it, but a better choice might be to install XP or nlite (trimmed XP). Advice?

    Apparently the drive is 1.8" and 4200RPM. Can that be improved?

    Thanks!

    Well, you could replace it with an Intel X18m. ;)

    A solid state drive would be fine, and there are 1.8" products. That plus XP should get this to the "tolerable" level...

    But what's the interface in this TX25?
