Last year I picked up a circa 2007 Thinkpad X41 Tablet on Ebay for under 300 bucks. I wanted something easy to carry around with long battery life but with a useable screen size and I really like my X41. I have Windows 7 tablet available to me and I am thinking of installing it on my X41 tablet... apparently others have done this and it works. It meets low end Win7 requirements, I have run windows 7 advisor and all is OK. The relevent specs are

Intel Pentium M Low Voltage 758 1.5GHz
2GB of RAM
60 GB proprietary hard drive... can't be upgraded.... this part sucks.
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 video chipset 128 MB
right now it is running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005

I don't use this much for anything then internet, word, excel, acrobat, play back a video, or audio. I understand Win 7 has a better tablet experience. Of course, I would turn off all the eye candy.

Anybody have any experience with Win 7 on low end machines. Am I going to regret this if I go to the trouble of installing Win 7?
