Score 8.0/10

+ Size is the most important factor - fits into my handbag - great for travelling if you are only allowed one piece of hand luggage. Easy to use. Operating system is great - don't be put off if you wanted Microsoft - try it. One guy we met while using it told us he now uses Linux for all his computers. Everyone who sees it is impressed. Perfect for sitting out by the pool using the wi-fi -

- Battery life is not terrific but only used it without plugging in if necessary. Getting hold of one. They are very much in demand - once you have used it you realise why.
