Re: netbook pro

Well, further to my other remark about the target market, I have just
bought a Fujitsu P5020 laptop, about 1 inch larger than my netBook,
win XP Pro 60GB H/D 512MB ram 5.5hrs battery/11hrs with bay bat
fitted,Wlan, LAN, bluetooth, PCMCIA, memory stick & SSD drives
I have loaded the netBook emulator on this.
Total cost? £1200. Now why on earth would I spend £1000 on a crippled
psion running wince?
Don't get me wrong, I loved my netBook, but that didn't have
competitors knocking it into a ****ed hat!

PC Connection USA but if you talk to Albert at J-Note
[url]http://www.j-note.com/[/url]
he can source them direct in UK. If a touch screen is an absolute
must, the Fujitsu 2120 has one.
They all have an international warranty and 110/240 self switching
power adaptor as well.
Sorry Psion, I think you need to look at competitor machine
specifications and slash your price.
