Disadvantages: Limited storage

I bought one of these about two months ago, and without a doubt I'd say this laptop has changed my life more than any other piece of computer equipment I've ever owned or encountered.

I've used it on trains (both with ...
...while walking to a meeting. While it's light and small, the keyboard is very usable, and doesn't present the same kind of problems with tiny keys as you get on PDAs or Blackberrys. In terms of specification, the N270 can easily run most commonplace business programmes, although I wouldn't recommend it for any high-end graphical work (but then, if you were doing high-end graphical work on the move, I imagine an iBook or similar would be the first ...

Advantages: Small, compact and easy to use

The Asus Eee PC 701 -- its a very portable laptop that cost me £210. Its a very neat laptop, being a traveller and travelling with my job, I need a light laptop with instant internet, messenger, skype access. This laptop gives you this with ease.

...900 odd grams. Its petite dimensions give it a toy-like appearance, but this is countervailed by the pearl-white finish, which gives it a touch of sophistication. Ultimately, the Eee PC looks equally at home on the catwalk or in a child's playpen -- it is what you make of it really! Because it's so small, some sacrifices have been ma!e.

Advantages: Nice touch screen, good keyboard, good for students who need to draw diagrams
Disadvantages: Screen glare is bad, can't seemuch in sunlight, vista slows it down

I want to point out first that this is not a gaming laptop. If you keep that in mind when you buy or try this out then you will enjoy using this laptop. The laptop only has a 12.1" screen, however this is big enough to be able to see everything on it clearly and I think that the screen is very good, especially for a tablet pc which usually have rubbish screens. I also like buttons that are set all around the screen and the usability of the laptop. ...
...touch pad is good and sensitive and can be locked so when you are writing on the screen it doesn't interfere. The keyboard is a decent size and feels solid. The laptop does however have its flaws, the screen gets dirty too quickly, it is difficult to see in high natural light and sunlight, and vista makes the laptop very slow for a dual core, 2GB pc. Overall however this laptop is easily the best value for money tablet pc that you are going to be ... Read review
