Ergo Mercury 3 - Pentium M 745 1.8 GHz - 14.1" TFT

Advantages: GOOD
Disadvantages: NONE

...I have used this laptop now for quite some time and have come over hardly any difficulties with it! For its size its a very good and fast little tablet! With its own sensitive screen you can use the tablet pen to be your mouse and turn it into 'tablet mode'. The screen is very sensitive and the pixels very easily get damaged. Their is no cd/dvd at all supplied with it but then again, its got so much to offer! Here are its specifications ....
