| The 20 GB model will be 300$ and the 60 GB model will be the current base price of 350$. So you're paying 50$ for an extra 40 GB in space.
By current HDD pricing standards that is an incredibly bad deal. It's amazing how much money MS is making off these tiny drives. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Running high resolution tests will only demonstrate the power of the video card. Low resolution tests demonstrate the power of the processor. Since the review is about a processor, you only need a basic video card to run the various apps and provide compatibility.
Higher res tests have shown many times that the CPU will not cause a bottleneck. There will be slight changes in performance due to different clocks, architecture and number of cores of each proc, but overall the video card is the limiting factor. The lowest resolution is used in order to remove the bottleneck and determine the best processor. Flag this | Edit this post |
