Shame. If it had a proper OS that wouldn't be a bad bit of kit for the price. Assuming you were seven years old of couse.Originally posted by sasguru View PostCheck out the reviews on it.

Why would I need something that looks like a 'real' computer?
I hate using laptop keyboard and mouse, so I always carry external ones. What I need is something that's a small as possible so that I can get the maximum other stuff in my carry on.
This looks ideal

I got fed up carrying my Thinkpad T60p everywhere as it is a bit large so picked up a sub-notebook. The Asus F9S which is pretty good, dual core, 2gb, 160gb, camera and other bits and pieces. th eonly problem is that it only has a slot for Express cards so my UMTS/HSDPA PCMCIA card doesn't fit. got an USB adapter but I'll get an express one later this year. Got a nice little mouse as well: Samsung“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
