Advantages: Nice look, good battery life. Disadvantages: Too small.
...I think the only way to describe this notebook is small, light and cheap. I wasn't overly impressed by it but there are some far worse models around.
Look and design
For starters, as i have already said, it's small, far smaller than any notebook or laptop I have ever owned, making portablility very easy indeed. This does however mean that typing is quite uncomfortable and doing so for long periods of time, as I found out when doing a document on this, leaves you with quite a bit of muscle cramp. As i have also previously said, it's very light, weighing less than 1kg, adding to the ease of portablility.
It does look quite stylish, the shiny metalic silver exterior combines quite well with the black interior to create a pretty cool look. It only has an 8.9 inch screen, but considering how small the notebook is, this is...

Advantages: portable printer and fast Printing speed Disadvantages: none
...Canon continues to be a product of the successful Pixma portable inkjet printers with iP100 Canon ink and the number to be doubled to a maximum resolution of 4800x1, 200dpi color. As a result, I have seen a significant increase in speed and print quality, the portable iP100 competitive with even some full-size printer. I prefer this Canon for low profile, a fast print speed, improving the cartridge and the overall flexibility of this printer.
While the iP100 same physical profile, single cartridge system has been absolutely perfect. First remove the top iP100 of the total number of jets 1088-1856. Compared with 1072 the jets in H470 and you'll see why the Canon more than a full model for HP in its class, the printer is more competitive. How iP90v and the iP90, which allows users to adjust their economic cartridges life with two...

Advantages: Portable(ish), cheap, good value Disadvantages: Needs an external aerial, viewing software is buggy
...and a laptop away a few times in the caravan so my wife did not miss Casualty and it worked very well with the caravan's aerial.
The WinTV USB is also a cheap way to add TV functionality to your PC - mine cost around £25 secondhand and does everything I want. There are alternative options available from the same manufacturer (Hauppauge) which allow for additional radio functionality or digital TV reception, but with the additional features comes additional price. Newer TV cards allow for the reception of Freeview digital broadcasts and as such the WinTV USB is perhaps showing its age.
The quirks with the bundled software are at times extremely annoying, but if you allow time to fix a potential problem, you can get back on schedule before Casualty starts! It is also slightly annoying that you cannot play TV into your current media viewing...
