Overview

NEC MobilePro 200E

Editors rating
Rating: 7.7
Verdict

If you're on a budget, NEC's MobilePro 200E might encourage you to stretch it as far as possible: you'll get design and portability that's often lacking at the lower end of the market.

Typical price

£ 299

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.
