Overview

Sony CLIE PEG-NZ90

Editors rating
Rating: 7.7
Verdict

This gadget lover's dream does so much that we wish it did just a little more -- particularly considering its size and price.

Typical price

£ 599

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.
