    Was walking by Maplin yesterday near Cineworld cinemas and noticed that they were selling this netbook for €150.

    Was walking by there today and they've reduced the price from €150 to €135

    It's the UK website but this is the netbook they're selling.

    It's windows CE :eek:

    it will not run any of your programs

    it's less powerful than your average sat-nav
    probably less powerful than your mobile phone


    266MHz processor - Netbooks are usually dual core 1500MHz or faster
    128MB memory - 1024 MB upgrade for a Netbook is about €20

    It's a PDA with a keyboard , not a netbook.

    Decent value if you are after a PDA.

    Terrible value if you wat something more.

    They've had these in their catalogue for about 6 years, and they were crap when they were "new".
