Verdict
Compared to the Asus Eee, this will offer plenty more oomph for your cash and for those looking for a mini laptop that sports Windows Vista, a better option

  • Sadly, its processor is inferior to that in the Asus Eee (all models), making it unsuitable for playing DVDs should you wish to do so. Without the oomph to watch full resolution videos, the need for such a large hard drive is negated. The Eee, by contrast, sports a superior Celeron M processor, roundly beating the HP's C7 in performance even though it runs a little over half the clock speed. Posted by FJ, Australia

  • Have just purchased this at Copstco in the US for $639 that equates to 325 quid ! As my regular laptop won't charge for some reason. Compared to other mini PCs its excelent. The kids can download and watch movies from sky easily and the battery lasts about 2hrs. Performance is perfect for standard work stuff and internet access except that the type on the screen is very small and I need my glasses. Very well put together machine, sturdy and stylish screen is very good no reflection even in the florida sun and web cam is handy. Overall 9/10 Posted by John, England
