Does the tablet have a hard drive and does the processor cache things

head crashes due to turbulence. Any thoughts?


I never had a head crash with the Sony Vaio notebook I used to use, even
though I did occasionally use it above 10,000', which others have reported
to cause crashes..

I did have some of the usual Windows glitches. What's annoying at your desk
is something else entirely when you're depending on a pc to help you dodge
death.
