Because the palmtop was made to be small and compact it does not have a hard drive. Instead, Windows CE is preinstalled on a ROM chip. While you won't get much more storage, you shouldn't run into any problems, because Windows CE compresses just about everything in order to save space. As far as the display goes, most palmtops feature a 480x240 LCD screen. Hewlett Packard is currently the only manufacturer to offer a full width display of 640x240.
Most models also feature a iridescent green-colored backlight.
One of the most important features to many people is the ability to connect to the Internet. You can transfer contacts, appointments, and to-do lists right from Microsoft Outlook '97 to the palmtop. The palmtop does not feature a 486, Pentium, or anything like that, but rather a specially designed chip. One such chip is made by Hitachi. The 32-bit Super H RISC Microprocessor runs at 44MHz.
