Re: Replacement Classmate
We tossed the Classmate this year and used an Student's gateway laptop [i5+4gb], didn't have a single issue and the video feed from the camera seemed to not lag at all on it compared to the Classmate where there was some lag noticeable.

You can get a decent netbook that will run circles around the classmate for about $300-$400 these days, or even a full sized laptop that will be even faster.

Yes you would have to configure these but it is usually the same amount of work as flashing the classmate and just installing the updates.
