Predictably pink!

I have just purchased one of these ~ so that I can "roam". Actually to use when I am doing family research ~ mobile internet connection etc.  whistle: Weighs less than 1kilo f'ing fast and bags of memory for what I want. 'Bout the size of a decent hardback book.



Linux Preloaded ..... No MSoft crap.

Courier delivery awaited as I type ~ I'll let you know when it arrives.

Have been debating the same purchase, hence...on your recommendation I'm going for it..... will be excellent when travelling back to Old Blighty. .. like next week... (has it stopped raining yet???)  Are you still happy with it Snoopy?

Yep ~ It's lovely

It takes a bit of setting up to work on your home wireless network cos of the Linux/MSoft conflict but that was soon sorted. Works well in local McD's WiFi hotspot (well from the carpark actually)
Dinky little keyboard but I lurve the built in WebCam  whistle:
Runs for about 3hours between charges.

It comes with a super charger unit that plugs into US/French style two pin sockets or UK style three pin. Built in adaptor thingy.

Spent all of Saturday trying to set up a stupid netgear router.  Banghead Gave up. Returned it for a refund and I've ordered a bt hub for half the price and apparently it is much easier.  cloud9:

Thank-you!

I know it's silly but I've never actually bought/owned my own computer before. I've always had hand me downs and discards so I'm quite over excited really.  redface:

It isn't connected up to anything yet so I can't download. However, that does mean that nothing can get in! The minute the wireless is set up that will be the first thing I do.
