I wonder why it tops out at 80GB HD. Does it have notebook HDs in it you think? Suspicious.

I hope not. Will be good to get a look inside these before buying one though.
Adding a superdrive and a gig or RAM along with bluetooth/wireless and then uping the hard drive to 250GB could make this a pretty good machine.
Would be just as good as my powerbook yet for permenant use at home. |

Notebook drives have hit 100gb, but of course are not cheap. If it uses notebook drive.. guess we will soon find out. Will have to get a service manual for it I think.

Given the size of this device it is a very safe assumption that it does. |

I could not agree more Snax - when I saw the 'densely packed interior' picture, I immediately made the Cube connection - looks almost the same as the Cube's core. And it is higher powered and costs less than it would for a Cube these days too!  |

just thinking if it has got a laptop drive in it that makes it even better value considering how much the drive alone would cost

Conclusion: When your software is old, throw the computer out.

pity you dont get iwork with it.
it would be a good idea to wait until tiger comes out also so you dont have to spend another $229 on it
the hard drive is listed on the apple site as a ultra ata drive.
