Ideal laptop substitute for students on a tight budget


As a student, most of what you do is word processing anyway -- be it your class notes, thesis, or whatever. And you won't get through a lecture or two with laptop battery life and you could burn your lap. Dana has made my life much easier this year.

Rating: 7.0
Verdict

Although it's primarily aimed at schools, the Palm OS-based Dana may also appeal to regular mobile users who require a lightweight and affordable portable computer and don't need the full functionality of a Windows notebook.
