Overview

ViaMichelin Navigation X-930

Editors rating
Rating: 7.5
Verdict

ViaMichelin’s first attempt at a standalone GPS navigation device is impressive, but more attention needs to be paid to the software.

Typical price

£ 269

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.
