I would like to upgrade a CF-H1 (Med) to Win 7. CF-H1BDJBZ6M In great condition. Never out in the rain, yadda, yadda, yadda.

1. Is this do-able? It has XP and an upgrade to Vista Business (Vista COA)
2. Where is the SD Card Reader?
2. OT, does anyone have an SSD, any RAM any batteries for sale for this little hot-rod?

I have 1 battery,do you have a dock for it? and a USB dvd setup? If so the recovery disc for Vista is the way to go,then upgrade to Windows 7. Otherwise it's kinda a pain to do it manually. I don't think you can add ram to it,I believe it is soldered to the board.

Truthfully,it will run better on XP,they are a real dog with the atom cpu. I've had a bunch of them.If and when the H2 prices drop,grab one. Man what a difference in the screen and performance.

I have two that are factory windows 7 on them. So there will be factory drivers to download.

Can't upgrade the ram on them. It uses the same batteries as the U1. You will need a dock for expansion or to load the OS.

I see yours left the factory with 80GB HDD, 2gb of ram(max ram), scanner, vista coa with XP installed and dual touch (digitizer and touch)

Thank you. Yes, I do like it, but...

Yes it came with a dock, and I have a USB DVD Disk drive. I will leave it bone stock for now, and won't upgrade it unless it goes really drastically awry.

I saw your ads on eBay, so I will look for the battery, if it is up for sale.

Any idea where the SD cards go? Or are USB the only way? Thanks

Thanks for your response, too. Those are the specs I got too. Any idea what the original MSRP was?

Thank you, George

$1869 was msrp on it. The battery I have is one I found kicking around here recently,I think its good as I usually mark the stinkers for recycle.

Well that little battery will be mine in a few days, thank you.

As to that MSRP, most Medical or Healthcare equipment (Especially IT) comes with a hefty pricetag. Not particularly well taken care of either.
(Remembers the whopping 10 Meg floppy drives, and the 8" CPM floppy drives.)

See ya

Ok then,I see where you grabbed it. When it gets to you charge it up and if it doesn't take a decent charge let me know first thing and I'll make it right.It should but I don't have anything to charge it with right now.

Pls PM me, with a price plus shipping for both (redundant backup redundancy)
Are they SSDs? Will the COAs be included?

Thank you, George
