Probably wont have XP, due to licensing costs and will only have 2-4GB memory on it.

It's basically a Blackberry with a big screen.

Still, at that eye catching price, it could do well.

I have to admit I'd be tempted at that price.

The netbook looks naff, but it's a hugely better designed than that website! Shocking formatting.

Not it's not.

Spec 1.6GHZ via processor
80GB hard-drive
512mb ram.

And it's got VGA out.

:lol:

Maybe I followed the wrong link.

Only 2-4? That's quite a lot.

Probably means storage.

In which case, it's not alot.

specs for this laptop

As the Wikipedia article says, this sort of model is perfect for giving to school pupils (albeit the ONEt was a bit gooseberry fool). The head of the science department at the school I teach in was trialling some models (not this one though, it'd have to have Windows) for use, and the idea of giving each child a laptop is a brilliant one, it would be well worth the financial cost.
