Overview

NEC MobilePro 300E

Editors rating
Rating: 7.0
Verdict

The MobilePro 300E is reasonably specified and well priced, and will only disappoint those who must have CompactFlash expansion built in as well as SD.

Typical price

£ 399

Featured Talkback

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.
