Overview

Toshiba Pocket PC e800 Wi-Fi

Editors rating
Rating: 7.7
Verdict

Although it's not the lightest or cheapest handheld, Toshiba's e800 provides the performance and robust software that mobile professionals require.

Typical price

£ 468

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.
