I want it as a compact alternative to carrying my bigger MBP to and from school each day.

My only confusion is this: In the header it says 160 GB hard drive.

but down in the product specs it says 8 GB hard drive.

Anyone have any experience with this?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Googleing the model number AOA150-1635, I found it a Best Buy and Staples, and on both sites, it says 160GB hard drive, so I think you are good with that.
 
Cool. What does it mean:
They do not have the same capabilities as notebook computers. They are built to run basic applications and execute one task at a time.

One task at a time? I am not sure I follow. Does that mean I have to close one application (like MS Word) before I open another (like connect to internet or open MS Excel)?

Can I run my Dev C++ compiler on it?
