    I am interested in the Acer Aspire One. Will fit easily in a cycle bag, decent keyboard, will run XP, and very decent price. Will not replace PC at work or home but will allow use on the move, and maybe open up use in cars as a decent satnav or access to maps, movies for passenger etc

    I bought the Belinea S Book.
    I wanted a reliable media player, a little laptop, a mobile skype platform and a touchscreen monitor, so it ticked all of the boxes.
    It was a little expensive compared to some, but they are in very short supply so that drove the price up, I expect.
    It's been fine since I bought it two months ago. I've not felt it lacking in power and I bought a nice power supply so I can charge it in the car.
    The only let down has been the Orange Mobile broadband adaptor, which doesn't provide enough bandwidth for Zatoo.

    Not really interested at all, and I usually get gadget frenzy with stuff like this.

    I just don't see when I'd use it. Certainly not at home, and if I'm on hols or whatever it's not too much effort to take the laptop.

    They had them pretty cheap on hols and in the airport (no vat) but I just wasn't impressed.
