Advantages: Small, compact and easy to use
Disadvantages: no windows operating system, tiny keyboard and mouse

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. All of my colleagues are intrigued by the laptop, especially the guys with 17" screens, lugging them around to every destination. The Eee PC is one of the smallest laptops on the market. At 225 by 35 by ...
...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. The keyboard is exceptionally tiny and the keys are very closely grouped ( not great when you have kids fingers ... Read review

Advantages: small , light, great wifi
Disadvantages: poor memory, short battery life, no cd drive

The eee series is very beautiful if your looking for a easy to use small portable laptop this is the one, the only downside is the linux based system but I now have Xp up and running it cost me an extra 50.00 but is well worth it, this was originally made for kids to encourage homework studies but has not been adopted by the older generation.

Advantages: Style, choice of finishes, weight, Dell brand
Disadvantages: Power socket on side,

...1525 to replace my current Dell desktop, an USFF Optiplex SX280. This is partly due to wanting to rid my life of clutter on a desk, and ultimately a desk, so this really will be used on my lap. As a result I have also specced it with the internal mobile broadband 3G/HDSPA card for Vodafone, so that I can access the internet, in theory, from anywhere. Since I am already a Vodafone customer I intend to add 3G use to the account and get rid of my BT ...
...I'm interested to see how well this will work in the real world. Initial impressions of the Inspiron are very good. I have chosen a gloss white finish on the lid, and it looks really smart. Nobody will actually be fooled into thinking it's an MacBook, but I like the simplicity of the colour and also the fact that, unlike the other colour choices available, it was free. Additionally there is no clip on the lid, just a hinge that snaps it shut, not ... Read review

Advantages: Complete package with good screen
Disadvantages: Powerhousing heating

I recuperated one of these here in France as "broken", after carefull inspection it seems the 512MB RAM module has had it and prevents the laptop of working properly. Considering the previous review, I would assume the overheating is a serious problem for the internal components and mainly for the memory modules which are located centraly, right next to a heat exhaust pipe. The laptop seems to be OK in all other respects but considering the heat ...
...some monitoring software to keep a tab on its overall heat dissipation. The screen seems to be of good quality, general good loook and finish, dual layer DVD reader/writer and all the built-in gimmicks you might wish for. Considering it was given to me as broken, only needing to buy a new RAM chip (and the machine can take up to 2GB of RAM) and a charger I would say it is a good deal. ... Read review

Advantages: Quality build
Disadvantages: Heavier than most

I have owned this one for 2 years and find it a pretty solid machine. The DVD/CD burner works good with the suplied program. Keyboard is full size keys which is a bonus. The screen does reflect the light but you can still see whats on it. Battery power I feel is poor, lasting only 1 3/4 hours. When on mains it does not get to hot even on your lap after a couple hours surfing. The hard drive being only 60gig can be filled up easily but regular backups ...
...and general computer work it fits a lot of holes but not fast enough for video rendering. Though it will cope with it. No problems with it though. This part is an add on to my main review. It is coming up to Three years that I have owned this laptop. I have had no problems other than the hard drive size. Although now I am using a external hard drive to store things. The drive is not full. It is almost three quarters full and does tend to run a bit ... Read review
