It wasn't really my call unfortunately. The purpose of this pilot project is to provide the first student 1:1 device supported by our school system. There's an eBackpack initiative that required the device to cost a certain amount, hence the 5130. Trust me, we have several 7130's and I would much prefer the additional options they bring. These are the 5130 Atom proc devices with 2GB RAM. They will get the job done, but as you said, they are limiting.
