Winbook Laptop and 7200rpm Drives

I am looking at a Winbook laptop and don't know much about their relaibility. Does anyone have any good/horror stories about them?

My application is using the laptop for live video capture at football games. I was told that I needed a 7200rpm drive to prevent the loss of frames. The software I am to use also requires WIndows XP. This combination is a little difficult in locating at a reasonable cost. That is why I am looking at the Winbook.

Any information/recommendation is apprecaited.

I haven't played with a Winbook in several years, but the ones I did play with were not very good. There's usually a reason for something being cheap.

Dell has already cut off XP on their laptops.
