Currently holidaying in Thailand and writing this on my TP570E, I can
confirm what James said above. The lack of a CD drive isn't really a
problem for me (the Ultrabase is cheap, I use the physical drive only for
installing new software and I use Virtual CD to run from the HDD software
that can't be installed on HDD), but it would be nice if the 570/570E had
two memory slots instead of one. OTOH, the price of 256MB chips has come
down and this gives a total of 320MB, which is enough for most folks.

Cheers, Dominique
