Overview

HP iPAQ Pocket PC H3950

Editors rating
Rating: 7.3
Verdict

The H3950 has lots of things to recommend it, especially its screen. However, it is overpriced.

Typical price

£ 500

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.
