I have the 400. It's a good laptop, but you have to be willing to put up with the small screen. I paid $399. It is full featured, and comes with xp. It's not my main workhorse, but it is very portable. There is no serial port, and no cd-rom though.

Won't work. You will have resolution issues. You'll also need to spend another $100 for the one with XP.
