Users can select 30 or 60 GB 1.8-inch hard drives loaded with Windows XP Home, or a 6 GB solid-state drive (SSD) loaded with either Windows XP Home or Windows XP Embedded.
Standard wireless connections include integrated Bluetooth and 802.11b/g, while an HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) modem and WiBro (802.16e) are optionally available in the Korean market.
