This is a really good piece of kit, fast, versatile, a keyboard you can touch-type on, but a fraction of the size of most laptops.

Had one of these a few months ago but not from Play.com and your better off paying the same price and getting more from a larger laptop.
20 gigs not enough
I can get on the web in about one minute from switch on. This is using a 3 modem on Broadband Lite. I thought I would need Windows to get the correct driver but it is easy to do in Linux. Open networks, choose create, select 3g connection and menus allow you to select Vodaphone, 3 etc. If the alleged compatibility of Linux and Windows for document transfers proves correct you may find you don't need Windows. The screen allows decent browsing and the speed is very acceptable. The cursor tracker is a bit vague or else I haven't mastered it properly yet. Expect to scroll down more than a 15 inch monitor but then I had to do that on my 14 inch much heavier and slower laptop which also required me to scroll sideways and this doesn't. This really will work on crowded trains, planes etc. I have no hesitation in recommending it.
