I'm surprised how tiny the included hard drive is - even with the size restraints. After all, IBM now sells what they claim is the "World's Smallest Hard Disk Drive", packing 1 GB on "a disk the size of an American quarter." See IBM's Web Site for details. Since price doesn't seem to be a concern for the manufacturers, (come on, $1500 for a 486?) I'm at a loss why the didn't choose to go with a larger hard drive. A GB is a little excessive but I'm sure there are smaller drives out there that take up even less room.
