    This one is pretty cool as well
    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.

      Or this for an extra 100 notes:

        Cheap laptops are 10 and penny. I thought the point was to find an ultra-portable with full functionality?

        If so I suggest a look at the link I posted earlier. Its a truly tiny, full function laptop with USB, wireless, bluetooth, card readers, LAN, tablet mode, 1Gb RAM, 80Gb hard drive, Windows XP with a 1024 x 768 max screen res.

        Its reminiscent of the old Libretto but smaller and lighter.

          It's expensive, though. I quite like the look of the toy one that SAS was talking about.

            Tiny amount of storage though.

              I guess it depends on what you want it for.

              I have a small laptop at home (2 years old), a big laptop for running Oracle on (1 year old), but want something small, lightweight and cheap for using on the train and to sit on my desk at work to access sites that I can't through work (e.g. some support sites that require downloads, which are blocked here).

              £220 is a possible justification, £500+ isn't. Storage space isn't really a concern - a pocket hard drive will so that if I need it.

              But, as I say - it depends on what you want / need it for.

                Yes. I currently lug my company all-singing & dancing laptop around. But on the train I'm usually just writing docs or reading spreadsheets. Plus I'm getting a top range desktop as well. So for my needs this is perfect. Can't go wrong for 200 notes anyway.
                Hard Brexit now!

                  I've got 2.

                    IF you get one, you can always stick a decent OS on it

                    You will be violating some license agreement though.

                      No - XP is supported, there are installation instructions with the PC.
