    Hi-Grade notebooks will carry the official England FA crest, what better way to support our favourite perennial underachievers?

    Is it just me who sees a Fujitsu Siemens logo sticking out like a sore thumb?

    Also. Urgh.

    2 reasons that this is rubbish
    a)It's too expensive for the spec, and probably too expensive generally for the Chavs/Children that will want it.
    b)It's more than a bit ugly

    Nah, Hi-Grade are still around. I must say that they are also quite helpful when you have an out of warranty machine with major problems. Most manufacturers simply tell you to bugger off rather than give you anything useful, like advice on how to fix the issue.

    An officially licenced notebook?

    What kind of numpty cares about some brand-marketing exercise on a notebook? If you're buying an IMB/Lenovo, or Toshiba, or whatever on the basis of a track record of product quality, then fair enough. But that strikes me as the high tech equivalent of buying a perfume because Jade Goody promotes it ...... or maybe Jack-the-Ripper razors.

    Then again, it's football fans we're talking about so .....

    Well, the Acer Ferrari notebooks are supposedly quite popular. Unbelievably tacky, but since when has that bothered Ferrari fans who can't afford an actual Ferrari?
