Great all-in-one solution


I travel around Europe a lot and this has really helped cut out a lot of the nonsense I experienced following maps and foreign road signs. The voice commands are clear and precise. Highly recommended.

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
