   Except the OS doesn't matter - it's going to be replaced anyway.
Battery life (as stated on reviews) *might* matter, but it might not,
depending on how much control you can get over the battery management.
And remember, NOS is designed to be memory-resident, so it shouldn't
need to access the disk often (if ever).
