Subject: [EE]: Laptop/notebook computer running XP?


|I have been looking for a portable solution for web access and email 
| while away from home and also want to be able to run MPLAB and my ICD2. 
|  Along with various other Windows software that I have, I want to a 
| system that runs XP.  Many older programs and hardware won't work with 
| Vista and I just don't want it.
| 
| But... looking at the usual suspects (Dell, HP, Acer, etc) there are 
| numerous products starting at $450US which would be fine for my purposes 
| except they come with Vista.  For example, selecting XP at the Dell site 
| narrows the choices down to 3 systems, the least expensive of which is 
| an Inspiron 1520 at $650.
| 
| From what I have seen on forums, the EEE PC just comes up shy on ease 
| of use with the small screen.  And they're up around $400 anyway.
| 
| So... any suggestions on a low-end XP laptop or notebook?
| Thanks!
