Not many off here, I suspect........

Fat-fingered users will have a hard time typing long documents, or making notes at speed

I bought one about a fortnight ago on behalf of one of the service users at my partners place. It was just over £200, including VAT and carriage. There is a short review of it in a recent edition of ComputerActive.

Were they pleased with it?

It was assessed as "Just what she wanted". Whether it would meet the needs of somebody who was used to a more orthodox lap-top is another matter, but I can't imagine any better value at that kind of price.

As a 'dumb terminal' that just surfed the web it would be a bargain. It's quite a bit more than that though. Interesting.
